The Javanese women use this wrap 40 days after childbirth to help them slim down. I was thinking, since this is slimming, we can use it too? The ingredients help to flush out toxins, bacteria and helps the lymphatic system rejuvenates. The Ingredients: - Eucalyptus (antiseptic, good for digestion) - Crushed sea stone / coral ( calcium & minerals, firms) - Fresh lime juice (astringent, flush toxins) - Betel leaf (to cleanse womanly odour) - Massage oil ( containing mint & eucalyptus essential oil, anti viral) - Cotton cummerbund (8-10 metres long, for binding) 1. Mix the ingredients with massage oil, about half a cereal bowl. 2. Rub the mixture to the tummy, let dry a while. 3. Wrap the cummerbund tightly, starting under the bottom and weaving upward the waist. 4. Leave for 20 mins, shower and moisturize.

Sometimes due to the unpredictable weather, our skin may react negatively. Common problems like dry red patches, itchy skin, gives unpleasant feeling. Aloe is known for its soothing properties; with a whopping 75 nutrients! Thus this will be an ideal easy to do home spa treatment! :) You will need: - Fresh aloe juice (you can mix with store bought aloe juice, but it is widely available, so why not use fresh ones?) - Some banana leaves (enough to cover the body) - Sarong or big towel - Lime / lemon - Lavender spritz (this is optional) How you do it: - First smear the aloe juice all over the body. (good time for a simple massage while doing this) - Spritz some lavender mist for relaxation - Cover body with banana leaves - Place the sarong / towel on the leaves (to capture heat) - Relax! :) ** Some culture frown upon lying down on banana leaves as it is similar to a cremation ceremony. Hence place them on top of body instead.. or replace it with plastic?
