Cellulite results from accumulated toxin and water trapped in subsurface skin tissues. The result: that lumpy, spongy texture.
The herbs in this blend act as circulatory stimulants and diuretics.

Application tips
To aid the herb’s penetration into the skin, dry brush your entire body before bathing. While soaking for 20 30 minutes, drink 2 full glasses of hot, purified water laced with 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice. It’s important to sweat during this bath. The water, lemon, and sweating action flush toxins from the body via the kidney and perspiration. Following the bath, dry off with coarse towel, concentrating your efforts on areas with cellulite.
Use 2 times per week.
Note
Avoid bath entirely if you have history of kidney problems.
