Thai Hot Herbal Compress Massage
Thai Hot Herbal Compress Massage Treatment is based on the holistic principles of Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine.
Thai herbalism is an ancient tradition that was preserved for over thousand years in monasteries and temples and is still practiced to this day.
Medicinal herbs are blended, wrapped and tied in fragrant bundles, which are steamed hot, slowly releasing their revitalising and healing essential oils when pressed against the body during the massage.
Moist heat radiates down through the tissues, melting away tension and soreness. Steam opens the pores and the skin breathes. The skin absorbs the rejuvenating and enriching herbal oil blend. Soothing, uplifting aromas open the senses and relax the mind.
