Benefits of Thai Herbal Compress Massage

 

A relatively unknown body treatment in N-Ireland but one used extensively in Asia. 

 

This heat treatment in our opinion is way superior to the more common hot stone treatment or hot lava shells. 

 

The heady scent of the thai herbs and oils induce such a deep relaxation that we advise you to rest for at least 15 minutes after the massage.

 

The Thai Herbal Compress technique offers several potential health benefits: 

 

It induces deep relaxation, relieves stress and  fatigue, boosts both emotional and physical well-being, assists 

alignment and postural integrity of the body, improves circulation of  blood and lymph and stimulates the internal

organs.

 

The  hot compresses are ideal for alleviating pain, stiff, sore or pulled  muscles and ligaments, chronic back

aches, arthritis, even skin  conditions, migraines and chronic stress or anxiety.


 

The blend of  traditional Thai herbs used in these compresses has a relaxing and  invigorating effect on the

body and mind, soothing sore and overworked  muscles while giving the body’s energy reserves a huge boost.

 

The herbs  in the compress possess properties that are anti-inflammatory,  antiseptic, astringent and

antioxidant. 

 

They are used to address  sprains, bruises and sore muscles, cleanse and heal the skin by  promoting cell

growth, and aid upper respiratory ailments such as  bronchitis, asthma, and the common cold.
