Coconut, Ginger & Lemon Grass Body Wrap

This is not only a really good relaxation wrap but it also helps to detoxify your body!

1 Cup fresh lemon grass, chopped (or 1/2 cup dried)

1 5 inch long piece of ginger root (grated or minced)

5 tablespoons coconut oil

Extras:

1 Large pot

1 cotton or liunen sheet (white or natural color) (cut into 4-5 inch wide strips)

1 shower curtain liner

1-2 blankets

Fill your pot with water and bring it to a boil, place your lemon grass, ginger and coconut in the pot on a low simmer cover and let stand for 5-7 minutes. (Do not over boil the herbs as you will burn them)

Strain out as many herbs as possible (keep the water)

Place your  strips in your water and let “steep” for 5-10 minutes. (You may want to keep this on the warm burner to maintain the warmth in the water)

Wring out the strips and place them on a platter

lay down on your plastic sheet wrapping your strips snugly from ankle to collar bone.

Relax for 20-25 minutes.

Remove strips and with a light water only (no soap) rinse your body off!
