If you want to loose few inches and tone, the herbal body wrap is a natural way of doing it. Here is a recipe that you can do at home.

Using:
- one cup of bentonite or green clay
- 1/4 cup of sea salt
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 cups of water
make a paste that will help you tone and will cleanse your body of toxins.

You can add some essential oils and some herbs to the recipe.

As an essential oil you can choose from lavender, lemon, lemongrass, rosemary, grapefruit, olive oil, sage, and sandalwood.
As herbs: horsetail ground leaves, Alfalfa leaf powder, chamomile flower powder, rosehip powder, rose petal powder, ground basil.

Boil the water where you added the sea salt until it gets dissolved, mix in the other ingredients and stir. Rub the obtained paste over your entire body and wrap yourself with thin towels or a clean sheet.
For best results cover yourself in plastic wrap over the towel or the sheet you used.
Do the whole operation in the tub, because it gets messy.
Lay down in the tub for 45 minutes to one hour.
Remove the plastic and towels and take a nice shower.
Follow with your favorite lotion, massaging more vigorously on the problematic area.
