Service Description

Luk Pra Kob - Thai Herbal Compress Therapy Add an extra revitilising, indulgening, and healing treatment application to your booked Traditional Thai Massage with additional benefits of hot aromatic compresses and the techniques of Thai Medicinal Herbs. This treatment can be also combined with Thai Oil Massage, and in any package you desire. *** The herbal blend I mix in hot compresses wrapped in ball shaped cotton fabric is based on the individual needs of my clients. Most of my special recipes include ginger, lemongrass, eucalyptus, galangal, kaffir lime (fruit or leaves), and camphor with some lemon balm, peppermint, anise leaf, rosemary, lavender, jasmine, cinnamon or other sweet medicinal herbs and flowers. The Thai herbal compress ball is steamed until it becomes in comfortable heat when it’s applied to your skin along the sen lines on the stomach, chest, back, arms, legs and face. It feels very relaxing and invigorating experience for many, especially with all the amazing smells released from the herbal ball. *** BODY THERAPY: These herbs have a host of therapeutic benefits that help restore the body’s health by helping to ease inflamation, heal bruises and scars, soothe and condition your skin by opening the pores and bringing a medicinal heat to muscles to induce relaxation. It’s also a fabulous treatment, to target specific pain points and ease the pain. Yet, because of the heat, it allows the therapist to go deeper into the tissue to tackle stubborn knots without damage and minimal pain compared with say a deep tissue massage. INHALATION THERAPY: Smelling and inhaling herbs during a compress session can be healing and relaxing. Many herbs have a balancing effect on the mind, and help to reduce stress. Primary herbs such as eucalyptus and camphor used in Thai compresses act as decongestants for the lungs and sinuses. Using hot compresses on the chest and throat and sinuses can loosen mucous from the lungs and chest, and open up the nasal passages. *** Single add-on application of hot herbal compresses £30 Get in touch to enquire about stand alone Thai Hot Herbal Compress Therapies, personilised herbal bath infusions, herbal poultice, herbal remedies and balms.
