Thai Herbal Compress

 

Thai Herbal Compresses have been a staple in holistic healing for thousands of years, either as a primary treatment or alongside other wellness practices. Influenced by the rich traditions of many ancient Eastern cultures, Thai Herbal Medicine uses plants native to Southeast Asia, which are readily available to the local people. These plants help promote deep relaxation, relieve stress, and enhance overall health and wellbeing. Passed down through generations of Thai healers, this knowledge is a key component of Thai Traditional Medicine.

A traditional Thai Herbal Compress consists of a selection of core herbs wrapped in muslin cloth, steamed to activate their healing properties, and applied directly to the skin or over clothing. The heat from the compress opens the pores, dilates blood vessels, and stimulates blood circulation as the herbal steam penetrates the skin to soothe aches, pains, and fatigue in muscles and connective tissues. Our herbal blend helps alleviate joint stiffness, muscle and tendon strain, reduce inflammation, and promote circulation. The warmth of the herbs offers a deeply relaxing, holistic effect on both the body and mind.

The herbal steam is infused during a full-body session, leaving your muscles thoroughly relaxed. Herbal Compress Massage is available for an additional $10 per compress. After the session, the activated compress is packaged with instructions for use and storage at home. Each compress can be used 5-8 times until the herbal properties are fully depleted.
