Hi everyone!
We have 6 weeks to go until the Thai Hot Herbal Compress course starts!

You might want to know about the equipment you'll need to use the compress in your practice once you've learned how to make and use them. So that you can keep your eyes open for bargains over the next few weeks!
I use a simple supermarket brand vegetable steamer. These cost around £20. You might have one at home already! Choose one with a rounded lid for extra height in case you ever use larger compresses. 1000 watts is better than 800 watts but don't worry about that too much. You won't need all three steamer trays but having them is useful and gives you options. e.g. You might want to steam towels, or have face compresses warming at the same time as body compresses, ready for use at the end of the session. Or you might break one! So hang on to any spares
And, if you can find it, a baby bottle steriliser is useful as a shortcut to get the initial core heat going, or you can use a ziplock bag just as well! These options are not essential, but they do get you a head start on your compress. If you don't have a microwave, you simply set the steamer off 30 mins in advance of the appointment.
