Herbal Massage

Thai herbal massage is a great addition to a regular Thai massage session. The heat and the herbs in the Thai herbal pack provide a 
wide array of benefits.

Background:


The herbal heat compresses have been used for centuries to soothe the aching muscles of war-weary soldiers during the Thai-Burmese battles in the Ayutthaya period. Once, the Thai herbal mixtures were the secret tools of ancient healers, but nowadays they are widely 
available ready-made throughout Thailand and the rest of the world.

The ingredients in the Thai herbal ball may vary from region to region and according to a specific formula used to address specific ailments. Yet, the majority of the Thai herbal balls contain a few common ingredients.

Ingredients: Plai (Thai ginger), Kafir Lime, Turmeric, Acacia leaves, Menthol, Camphor, and Myrtle Grass.

What to expect:


Traditionally, the herbal ball application is done in conjunction with the Thai massage. First, the sore muscles and joints are worked on 
through stretching and compression techniques of Thai massage. Then, the heated herbal compress is applied over most of the body. 
The herbal ball is rolled, pressed, and circled right on the body, preferably directly on the skin. A warm sheet is usually draped over the recipient for privacy and to preserve the heat from the herbal pack. Clients are given to wear loose-fitting Thai pants and always draped appropriately during the whole session.

Benefits:

  • Soothes sore and aching muscles
  • Relieves stiffness in the joints
  • Enhances circulation of blood and lymph
  • soothes skin inflammation with anti-inflammatory herbs
  • promotes better breathing with camphor and menthol
