Get a seaweed wrap

“Next comes a warm shower under a canopy of twinkling lights before I’m back on the bed, face up. After another session of aromatherapy, this time with seaweed oil, comes the mummifying. To my surprise, rather than being bound head-to-toe in seaweed, it’s wrapped with spaces in between and in sections – waist, lower legs, upper legs, arms, neck and shoulders. [...] Ninety minutes later, I’m relaxed and my skin feels dewy. And my cold? Gone are the head and sinus aches.”

“She instructed me to lie down in a tub-like/tray-like apparatus in the center of the warmed treatment room and place one towel across my chest and one across my bottom. [...] After the exfoliation, she ‘painted’ the warm treatment material all over my body. It was basically seaweed in gel form, along with ocean minerals and essential oils. Once completely covered, my therapist wrapped me up, like a pig in a blanket, in a Mylar sheet.”

“My husband is addicted to seaweed wraps!! Basically they plaster you in a seaweed mixture customized to what you want (he gets the muscle relaxing one). You wear paper panties, get slathered, then get wrapped up like a combination mummy/baked potato. Your head and feet are sticking out, and they get massaged as you "bake." Then you are unwrapped, shower, and get a half body massage. You feel VERY VERY detoxified after the wrap, like you've sweated every last toxin out of your body and have turned into a limp noodle. My husband falls asleep every time.”
