<p>I received a call yesterday from a client of mine who happened to see an article I had written, which I am posting below.  She questioned me as to why I have in the Infrared Body Wraps for Weight Loss section I stated in &#8220;30 minutes you can expend up to 600 calories&#8221; when, in fact, I have her staying in the infrared wrap for 50 minutes!  Go ahead read the article below, then we can discuss  the 30 vs. 50 minute controversy!</p>
<p><span id="more-1090"></span><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-142" style="margin: 4px;" title="Infrared Body Wraps" src="http://www.infraredwrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tape-measure-wrap-150x150.jpg" alt="tape measure wrap 150x150 Infrared Body Wraps   Top Five Benefits" width="175" height="172" />What is an <em><strong>Infrared body wrap</strong></em>?</p>
<div id="article-body">
<div id="article-content">
<p>An infrared body wrap is a body treatment that involves an infrared blanket and may or may not consist of a product application.</p>
<p>An infrared blanket allows the client to relax while enjoying the benefits of infrared. When applying certain products to the body prior to the treatment, can accelerate the of the benefits.</p>
<p>First let&#8217;s talk about the benefits for a few moments of an <span style="color: #000000;"><em><strong>Infrared Body Wrap</strong></em></span>.</p>
<p><em><strong>Detoxification</strong></em>. Sweating is the natural way for the body to heal and stay healthy. Infrared provides a person with a deep sweat and cleansing of the skin because it penetrates the about 1 &#8211; 2 inches and pushes the toxins out through the sweating process.</p>
<p><em><strong>Skin Rejuvenation</strong></em>. Infrared body wraps and infrared saunas can actually help restore skin to a more youthful appearance. There was a study done by the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy that showed a significant difference in just 12 weeks with the reduction of wrinkles, fine lines and crow&#8217;s feet as well as a toning of the skin such as firmness, elasticity and clarity.</p>
<p><em><strong>Pain Relief</strong></em>. Many people experience infrared heat works by penetrating joint, muscles and tissues, speeding up oxygen flow and promoting better circulation.</p>
<p><em><strong>Relaxation and Stress Reduction</strong></em>. It has been studied that infrared helps the body to maintain healthy levels or cortisol. We have all heard about cortisol and how it the number one cause of belly fat. Cortisol is a hormone that is produced by the body and raises when we are stressed out and raises the heart rate and blood pressure leading to the deposit of excessive fat and weight in the midsection. So taking a 30 minute session 3 times a week can help you to relax and reduce the effects of excess cortisol.</p>
<p><em><strong>Weight Loss</strong></em>. If you are looking to lose weight, then an <em><strong>infrared body wraps</strong></em> may be the key to your success. It has been shown that a 30 minute session can actually burn up to 600 calories. When the body temperature is raised by heat of any kind, our bodies need to cool itself down. In doing so our heart rate increases as well as our metabolic rate, which causes the body to burn calories. Using infrared is a simple and relaxing treatment to help with those extra pounds many of us are carrying around.</p>
<p><em><strong>Infrared body wraps</strong></em> are becoming a popular service at spas and salons around the world, and with good reason.</p>
<p>The benefits from infrared wraps are many. Here were just five of the benefits people enjoy when receiving an infrared body wrap treatment.</p>
<p>I urge you to do some research and find out for yourself how this simple and affordable treatment can benefit how you look and feel.</p>
</div>
<div id="article-resource">
<p>For more information on <em><strong>infrared body wraps</strong></em> and the possibility of using them to look and feel your best you can check out more information about the <span style="color: #000000;"><em><strong>Infrared Wrap</strong></em></span>.</p>

</div>
<div>OK, now let&#8217;s talk about the 30 minutes vs. 50 minutes in the infrared body wrap for weight loss benefits.  Although infrared is great for pain relief (in fact, infrared was invented by a doctor in Germany for patients with rheumatoid arthritis), relaxation and even a bit of skin rejuvenation in a 30 minute infrared treatment, to expend the calories by raising the bodies temperature and increase the metabolic rate by getting your heart to pump faster, you will need to stay in the infrared treatment for 30 minutes after your body warms up and begins to sweat.  For most people that is about 15 &#8211; 25 minutes!  Then you will add the 30 minutes. So a total infrared body wrap treatment should last 45 &#8211; 60 minutes&#8230;average 50 minutes and never more than the 60 minutes!</div>
<div>If you are using or would like to use infrared body wraps as part of your healthy lifestyle and have any questions, please feel free to <a href="http://www.spalontechniques.com/contact/">contact me</a>.  I will be happy to help you.  If you would like to share your infrared body wrap experience, go ahead and leave a comment below.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The <strong>Body Wrap seen on The Doctors </strong> TV yesterday is the latest from LA Slim Wrap in helping women achieve a better body image.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/belly-butt-and-saddle-bags.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1080" style="margin: 5px;" title="belly butt and saddle bags" src="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/belly-butt-and-saddle-bags-150x102.jpg" alt="belly butt and saddle bags 150x102 Body Wrap Seen on The Doctors" width="150" height="102" /></a>For some of us no matter how hard we try; we eat right and we exercise and still nothing seems to budge around the hips and thighs!  A whole body is great for overall toning and tightening and detox, but sometimes we just need that extra push in those troublesome areas; hence the LA SlimWrap spot treatment named &#8220;The Triple B.&#8221;  This partial body wrap targets the belly, butt and &#8216;saddle&#8217; bag areas with great results.  The results are so good that some one told the producers of The Doctors TV and the next thing you know, we are featured on the show.  (I will post the video as soon as I get a copy!)</p>
<p>Until then, check out <a href="http://www.laslimwrap.com/BodyWraps.php" target="_blank">LA Slim Wrap</a> and the salons and spas using this awesome product!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><div id="article-body">
<div id="article-content">
<p><a href="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/infrared-wrap2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-733" style="margin: 5px;" title="infrared body wrap" src="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/infrared-wrap2-150x150.jpg" alt="infrared wrap2 150x150 Why Use an Infrared Body Wrap" width="150" height="150" /></a>Infrared body wrap heat can penetrate up to about 2 inches and can actually reach the bone. It is because of this deep penetration why an infrared body wrap can be so effective for sore muscles, sports injuries and even the aches and pains from arthritis as well as for the reduction of cellulite and weight loss.</p>
<p>It is has been said that a 60 minute session can actually burn about 1500 hundred calories.</p>
<p><span id="more-1056"></span></p>
<p>Now let it be noted this really depends on the person&#8217;s particular body type and how well they can handle the heat. With keeping your caloric intake to a reasonable level based on your particular active or non-active lifestyle, over the years I have seen client&#8217;s lose up to 25 pounds per month using an infrared body wrap at least three times a week.</p>
<p><strong>Main Function of Infrared</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s discuss for a moment the main function of infrared and how a infrared benefit your body to function at a more optimal level, shall we? Yes, we shall!</p>
<p>When our body accumulates fat, circulation can slow down. In fact, when most of us gain weight we begin to slow down because of that excess weight and instead of moving more we tend to move less and then a vicious cycle begins to develop.</p>
<p>Good circulation is vital to helping keep our bodies warm and give it the ability to also burn fat. When fat begins to accumulate in such places as hips, thighs and tummies, circulation slows and fat just stays. With infrared and the ability to penetrate so deeply, it helps to heat up the area, in turn creates better circulation and fat can be loosened and moved into the blood stream and can be now used as energy and our metabolism rate will rise.</p>
<p>With circulation moving better and your metabolic rate raised the body is able to also detoxify and help rid itself of toxins, wastes and impurities not only through the blood stream, but also through our largest organ; the skin.</p>
<p><strong>Traditional Wraps vs. Infrared Body Wrap<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Most of us have had body treatment wraps that use clay, seaweed, aloe, minerals and mud with great results, but are really only used for toning and tightening the skin. Inch loss can be achieved through the compression of the body wraps and cellulite can be diminished through the particular products being used, but none of those wraps are used and can actually claim weight loss results.</p>
<p>These body wraps are applied warm. The elastic bandages or gauze-type wraps are soaked in a warm solution and then applied to the body. The heat from these applications only last for a few minutes. Although after the body wrap is applied, you will most likely covered with a poncho or blankets to keep warm. This warmth is really from your own body heat.</p>
<p>These particular body wrap products (clay, seaweed, aloe, minerals and mud) are very effective, but cannot achieve the level of penetration or results that can be obtained from an infrared body wrap treatment.</p>
<p><strong>The Best of Both Worlds</strong></p>
<p>Alone each type of body wrap can provide fabulous results. However, an infrared body wrap which helps to promote circulation, raises metabolism, promotes detoxification and weight loss when combined with a more traditional mineral compression wrap for inch loss, for example, can help you to look and feel your best.</p>
<p>Because of their effectiveness, ease of use and very little attention is required to set up and get the client ready, an infrared body wrap is becoming a very popular choice at spas, salons and massage businesses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/tape-measure-wrap.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-849 alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" title="types of body wraps " src="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/tape-measure-wrap-150x150.jpg" alt="tape measure wrap 150x150 Top 11 Types of Body Wrap Treatments" width="150" height="150" /></a>There are many different types of body wrap treatments to choose from. It is important to remember that all body wraps serve some purpose to a healthier lifestyle. Anywhere from simply moisturizing dry skin to detoxification and even inch loss, body wraps can provide the <a title="Do Body Wraps Work?" href="http://bodywrapexpert.com/dobodywrapswork/">results you are seeking</a>.</p>
<p>While most body wrap treatments require some sort of compression to achieve inch loss, not all inch loss is necessarily achieved by the compression. In other words, most all products used for body wrap treatments will give achieve some sort of inch loss. However, better inch loss is obtained when a compression type, or elastic bandage, is used.</p>
<p><img title="More..." src="http://bodywrapexpert.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="trans Top 11 Types of Body Wrap Treatments"  />Here are most of the different types of body wraps available. All of the body wrap treatments below are not based upon sweating or water loss to achieve their particular results.</p>
<p><span id="more-847"></span><strong>Algae:</strong> Algae, which is also known as seaweed, is applied to your entire body. The algae paste is applied warm and you will be cocooned in blankets to stay warm. Algae is used to nourish and detoxify the skin. One must be careful in considering this wrap if they are allergic to iodine or shellfish.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/clays.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-850" title="clay body wraps" src="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/clays-150x150.jpg" alt="clays 150x150 Top 11 Types of Body Wrap Treatments" width="150" height="150" /></a>Clay: </strong>This is similar to a mud wrap (see below). There are many different types of clay and each one is used for different therapies. However, clay is primarily for detoxification and to diminish cellulite as it helps to rid the body of excess water. Specific aromatherapy oils may be added to the clay to not only smell good, but also to provide additional results.</p>
<p><strong>Compression:</strong> This is by far the most popular of body wrap treatments for inch loss. This wrap can easily be classified as a &#8220;mummy wrap.&#8221; Though most all body wraps require some kind of wrapping or cocooning, the compression wrap always uses elastic bandages to achieve maximum results. Although the products used for this wrap can vary from aloe vera, clay, herbal, and mineral; <a href="http://www.laslimwrap.com">the mineral body wrap</a> being the most popular compression wrap.</p>
<p><strong>Cryotherapy:</strong> A cold wrap treatment, designed to control excess fluid in the hip, leg and thigh areas. Cryotherapy is used mainly to help with fluid retention. Because of the coolness of this type of wrap, the circulatory system is stimulated, helping the body to rid itself of the excess fluids. Although this wrap is very effective, if you have a low tolerance for cold, then this is probably the most uncomfortable wrap available.</p>
<p><strong>Herbal: </strong>Cotton cloth, muslin or elastic bandages are soaked in an herb-infused solution and you are wrapped firmly and cocooned in plastic and in blankets to keep you warm. Used for skin softening and inch loss body wraps.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Body-Wrap-Training-The-View.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-854 alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" title="Body Wrap Training Spalon Techniques - Andrea Pekarik Welch" src="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Body-Wrap-Training-The-View-150x150.jpg" alt="Body Wrap Training The View 150x150 Top 11 Types of Body Wrap Treatments" width="150" height="150" /></a>Mineral:</strong> <a href="http://www.laslimwrap.com">Mineral body wraps</a>, which are also called compression or active wraps are the most popular for inch loss. These body wraps mostly contain calcium, mineral, potassium and other pertinent minerals to help with detoxification. This is the wrap is uses the elastic bandages that have been soaked in the mineral solution. You are wrapped very tightly, but not too tight as to cut off circulation and then you will be doing light exercise for one hour while in the wrap. The bandages help to compress the fat cells, the minerals help to release the the toxins in between the fat cells and the movement keeps the lymphatic system working to help flush the system. The mineral wrap is also known as the slimming body wrap.</p>
<p><strong>Mud: </strong>Mud, like clay, can help to pull the impurities from the body when it is drying on the body. Mud treatments are used to help with water retention and may may help ease arthritis and soothe minor skin irritations.</p>
<p><strong>Niacin:</strong> The niacin wrap is designed to promote circulation to break up and help rid the body of trapped toxins. With this particular wrap you will be slathered with a cream product and then wrapped firmly with a plastic film to keep the product close to your skin. You will then relax for one hour cocooned in blankets to keep you warm.</p>
<p><strong>Paraffin:</strong> Paraffin is best known as an addition to a manicure or pedicure. With a manicure or pedicure you &#8220;dip&#8221; your hands or feet into the wax after a lotion or cream are applied. The heat of the wax helps the lotion or cream to penetrate the skin and the wax keeps the heat in.</p>
<p>When using paraffin as part of a body treatment, the paraffin will be brushed on your body after a lotion, cream or oil is applied. You will then be cocooned in blankets to keep the heat in. Not only does this type of body treatment have a softening and moisturizing effect, but also helps to reduce aches and pains of the muscles and joints. Many arthritis sufferers use paraffin as daily home treatments. This treatment is very popular during the cold winter months or in very dry climates.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/prafango.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-857" title="types of body wraps - parafango - Spalon Techniques" src="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/prafango.jpg" alt="prafango Top 11 Types of Body Wrap Treatments" width="563" height="130" /></a><strong>Parafango:</strong> This body treatment is much like the Paraffin Wrap above. &#8220;Fango&#8221; means mud in Italian. This treatment uses a warmed mixture of paraffin wax and mud to help stimulate the skin and pull out toxins through the skin.When combing the paraffin with mud, you get a double whammy of a treatment. The mud helps to detoxify the body while the paraffin keeps the mud &#8220;glued&#8221; to you to achieve maximum results. You will need to relax and lie still for about 45 minutes while being cocooned in blankets to keep you warm.</p>
<p><strong>Seaweed:</strong> Your body is slathered with a warm mixture of seaweed. You will then be cocooned in a plastic sheeting and then you are wrapped in a heated blanket. The seaweed wrap is a great detoxifying wrap as it is very high in minerals. However, if you are allergic to iodine, then caution should be taken.</p>
<p>There may be some contraindications to some of the body wraps listed above. If you have any concerns at all when you visit your salon or spa to experience a body wrap, make sure you ask questions and if needed, seek a doctor&#8217;s advice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Doctors1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-876" style="margin: 5px;" title="Infrared Wrap Treatment - Spalon Techniques" src="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Doctors1.jpg" alt="Doctors1 Infrared Body Wrap Seen on The Doctors" width="235" height="119" /></a>The Infrared Body Wrap seen on The Doctors today can be seen <a href="http://www.thedoctorstv.com/main/home_page?init_type=Feature&amp;init_id=4107">here</a> .</p>
<p>I have been body wrapping and getting body wrapped for over 10 years.  In fact I have body wrapped over 5000 clients!</p>
<p>The body wrap seen here is a double whammy of helping the body to rid itself of toxins, but also gives the body a good dose of minerals.</p>
<p>I am a little disappointed how The Doctors only ended with it being a water loss and to use caution.   Of course you need to drink water&#8230;.just as if you were exercising and sweating; which is beneficial to your health.  I do understand their concern and as when you are ever in a situation which causes you to sweat and can dehydrate, it is always crucial to replace the water and even drink something with electrolytes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Kathryn-Infrared-.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-871" title="Infrared Wrap treatment after 8 rounds of chemo for Lymphoma" src="http://www.spalontechniques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Kathryn-Infrared--224x300.jpg" alt="Kathryn Infrared  224x300 Infrared Body Wrap Seen on The Doctors" width="224" height="300" /></a>The water your body gets rid of during an infrared body wrap is filled with toxins and impurities within the skin.  After using infrared body wraps and even infrared saunas myself, I know the benefits and what can actually be expelled.  I really realized it when I was using infrared wraps to help my daughter after her chemo treatments to rid the body of the excess.  As you can see by the picture.</p>
<p><span id="more-791"></span>(I took it against a white door so you can be able to see the difference.  Most often the fluid that is expelled during the infrared body wrap is clear to cloudy under normal conditions.  However, my daughter has been battling T-Cell Lymphoma and had to have 8 rounds of 4 days of Chemo treatments every 21 days&#8230;.when she got up and I gathered the fluid in the plastic sheet, we were amazed to see the yellow color!  It is the exact color of one of the types of chemo that she was injected with!!!)</p>
<p>Frequent infrared body wraps noticeably help reduce the appearance of cellulite because infrared works at a deeper level and helps to rid the body of excess toxins which give us that &#8220;orange peel&#8221; texture.  You can do your own research on <a href="http://www.infraredwrap.com">infrared body wraps</a> and you will be amazed as to how healthful using infrared body wraps can be.</p>
<p>PLEASE leave a comment and let&#8217;s chat as I would like to tell you ALLLLL about how this type of body wrap will actually work to help you look great and feel even better!</p>
