Thai Herbal Compress Massage - Decadent & Healing

Perhaps the most luxurious style of Thai Massage, the Thai Herbal Compress Massage is profoundly relaxing at an extraordinarily deep level. And it promotes health in myriad ways.

Dating back at least 600 years in Thailand, Thai Herbal Compress Massage is a treatment said to have been created to heal soldiers returning from battle. An assortment of healing herbs including lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, kaffir lime, camphor, tamarind, sea salt and more are blended then wrapped in a muslin cloth and shaped into a ball.

The compresses are soaked and steamed, then applied with massage. The therapist uses compressions, plus rocking and rolling of the compresses along your body's energy lines. Each application of the compress results in pressure, heat and release of therapeutic herbs. The compresses produce pleasant and curative aromatherapy, and are steamed just enough to feel warm but not hot to the touch. Then the combination of moist heat, herbs and pressure sinks thru the layers of tight muscles, bound up connective tissue and sore spots.

Perfect during the cooler months, a Thai Herbal Compress Massage will be deeply relaxing and restorative for anyone with chronic pain or tension, stress, tightness or simply wanting deep relaxation. The session will be combined with an oil massage, heated towels and optionally lymph brushing. Book your session at 5 Koshas Wellness: 727-641-6941 or www.5KoshasWellness.com.
