Detox Body wrap

TerriD

I had chemo and rads last year following my masc. I am going to a spa with my sister and want to get a detox herbal body wrap.  I am wondering if it is OK to wrap my chest where the radiation is healing (I am starting to get tingling there-skin rejuventation perhaps?) I also have been getting chest contractions lately, maybe the muscle is reparing itself (feels like cramps). NO biggee, just wanted to describe it. I also have mild lymphadema and jmy most recent cellulitis episode was almost a month ago. A long time ago I had a maddage and got a rash, so I am avoiding oils an dmassage, but I thought a good detoxing wrap would be a great idea considering all my body has been thru. Any toughts on wrapping the arm and chest? Thanks Terri

I've had some wraps, and I think that the compression used for the upper arms might be an issue if you have LE. The chest isn't wrapped too tight--at least in my experience. But the arms were, and then you lie still for half an hour. Don't know how much I truly detoxed, but I definitely lost inches--they measured before and after.
