What is Herbal Compress Massage (Herbal Massage)?

Herbal Compress Massage, originating from Thailand, is an alternative spa massage technique applied to soft tissues such as muscles and fascia. It helps relieve stress, improve sleep, enhance overall well-being, accelerate blood circulation, and eliminate waste and harmful toxins from your body. It is a systematic massage designed to cleanse the body of negative energy, including non-chronic back pain, neck and shoulder pain, stiffness, muscle knots, and physical and mental fatigue.

How is the Herbal Compress used?

The application of the herbal compress is often incorporated into traditional Thai or Balinese massage practices. The therapist combines beneficial herbs for the skin, wraps them in a muslin cloth in the form of a pouch, and heats it in steam until it becomes very hot. The herbal pouches are then systematically applied directly to the skin using pressing or tapping techniques. The session will depend on the type of massage reserved; for example, if you opt for a full-body massage, the herbal compress session will be applied to the entire body. If you book for neck and shoulders, the therapist will focus only on those areas.

How is the compress prepared?

Many herbs and herbal combinations can be used during the massage. The selection of a suitable blend or herb will depend on your needs and will be chosen by a professional therapist.

Herbal massage is not only relaxing but also a massage practice that contributes to the overall maintenance of the body’s health. Regular massages are one of the most effective steps in preventing many health issues before they arise.
