Thai Herbal Compress is a truly amazing and unique therapy. Herbs imported from Thailand are wrapped beautifully in muslin cloth. These compresses are then steamed and applied to the energy meridians and painful areas of the body during Thai Massage Sessions.

The compresses contain special species of herbs known for their therapeutic value. They have anti-inflammatory qualities which soothe tired and tight muscles. The herbs also have therapeutic value for the softening the skin, increasing energy, enhancing immunity, increasing circulation and easing sinus and upper respiratory congestion.

Along with all the benefits of the herbs the treatment is hot and moist,. This means it is a deeply relaxing therapy which helps reduce the negative impact of extreme stress, exhaustion and overwhelm. The compresses also release essential oils that provide heavenly aromatherapy.
 
When the massage is over, the compresses are stored for use in your future massages. They are very potent and can last through 3-5 sessions.
