Thai Herbal Compress History:

This heated parcel of aromatic herbs and spices is a natural health treatment that has been in use since Thailand’s Ayutthaya period (14th – 18th century) when the herbal compress was administered to war weary soldiers returning home with aching muscles and strains etc.

Today the herbal compress is still used to alleviate pain or inflammation by opening the skins pores and bringing medicinal heat to the muscles to induce relaxation. The herbs used in the compress also aide in drawing out toxins from the body and bringing relief to stomach aches and menstrual pain.
