Thai Herbal Poultice Massage


The scent of Thai herbs fills the air as a muslin ball filled with 13 therapeutic Thai herbs gently steams away. Your therapist applies this healing herbal poultice to your body in a rolling, kneading motion, gently warming the muscles ready to receive an oil massage. Your entire body is worked in this way, first the warming poultice, then massage. Wild turmeric, lemongrass, screw pine, tamarind, camphor, lotus and sweet sedge are some of the herbs that help reduce aches, pains, muscle soreness and condition the skin. Coupled with the relaxing Swedish massage, working from feet through to neck and shoulders, all the major muscle groups in the body are encouraged to release stored tension.
