๐น๐ญFor those who havenโt yet experienced all the wonders of Thai hot herbal compress massage, I would like to provide an inside look at how the treatment works. First, you choose the compress you prefer: traditional Thai herbal, Coconut Thai or Rose petals compress. The compresses are then steamed, and when they reach the optimal temperature, I will perform the massage using the compresses only, employing different movements and techniques. It is a very different type of massage compared to Swedish massage. However, if I had to choose one treatment for myself, I would choose this one.
๐ฟToday, I want to talk a little about traditional Thai herbal compresses. The firmest one, combined with hand pressure, provides a solid pressure that is suitable for those who enjoy deep tissue massage. Containing 17 traditional Thai herbs and plants, these effective body compresses release a gentle, calming fragrance during use. Here are some examples:
- Zingiber cassumnar (Plai): Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, Plai helps relieve muscle pain and stiffness, promoting relaxation and reducing tension in the body.
- Curcuma longa (Turmeric): Turmeric's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties enhance circulation, soothe aches, and improve overall skin health when used in massages.
- Languas galanga (Galangal): Galangal is recognized for its ability to stimulate digestion and ease nausea, contributing to a sense of well-being and relaxation during treatment.
- Cassia alata Linn. (Golden Bush): This herb is known for its antimicrobial properties, which can help soothe skin irritations and support skin healing during compress massages.
- Cymbopogon nardus Rendle (Citronella Grass): Citronella has uplifting effects that enhance mood and reduce stress while its antiseptic qualities provide a refreshing scent during massages.
โ๏ธThere are many more herbs in the compress that have an amazing effect on the body and mind, complementing each other perfectly. If you would like to experience this wonderful treatment, drop me a message or book online. And stay tuned to find out more about Coconut and Rose petals compresses. ๐
