This treatment (also called Luk Pra Kob or "herbal pressing sphere"), combines traditional Thai massage techniques with heated or steamed herbal or coconut compresses. At Relaxation Zone Therapies we offer Thai Herbal Compress or Coconut Compress therapies. The compress ingredients bring a luxurious feeling with their aromas and the therapeutic hot compresses soothe the body to provide a state of deep relaxation.
What does Compress Massage involve?
The compress itself consists of fresh or dried herbs or coconut flakes that are wrapped in muslin cloth ball called a poultice and then steamed to release the aromas of the herbs. Coconut aroma has a sweet and intense smell, while the herbal compress has aromas of lemongrass, ginger, kaffir lime leaf and turmeric. The warm compress is pressed over the client’s entire body to help soothe the muscles and stimulate the organs and the senses. Gentle pressure also helps to improve and stimulate the lymphatic system, providing relief from general muscular aches, pains and tension.
What results can I expect from Compress Massage?
These techniques can:
Nourish the skin: heat from the compress carries the essential oils deep into the skin
Improving sleep though increased stress-relieving hormones
Stress reduction from the expanded blood vessels that increase blood flow to your muscles
Increased immunity by flushing out toxins and increasing the production of white blood cells
Important: allergies. Some customers may have an allergy to certain aromats and herbs. Please inform your therapist or give your friendly reception team a call if you do and they can check for you.
