A Thai herbal compress, sometimes referred to as Luk Pra Kob, is a traditional massage method that employs aromatherapy and medicinal herbal compresses to reduce muscle tension as well as promote relaxation. Although this ancient therapy has been practised for thousands of years in Thailand, it is only now beginning to gain popularity in the West. This ancient herbal massage is among the best because they are so deeply calming, soothing, and relaxing.

What Is A Thai Herbal Compress?

This incredibly effective Thai therapy contains a myriad of natural herbs and roots which usually include plai, ginger, turmeric, lemongrass, roots, bergamot etc and it is applied to the skin. It is normally practised as part of the process of traditional Thai massage. It is an excellent remedy of reducing pain and muscle tension, as well as treating many conditions, including headaches, back pain, and arthritis.

Luk Pra Kob involves the application of heated Thai herbal compress (achieved through steaming) to parts of your body, so it instantly relaxes them. The natural scented herbs oils are released which have incredible healing properties for various ailments. 

The Benefits Of A Thai Herbal Compress Massage

This is a fantastic approach to ease pain, relax the body and mind, and soothe the muscles. The herbal compress is wrapped in a ball of fabric and pressed against the skin of the body or on any painful muscle areas. In addition to improving a balanced chi or sen circulation, stress relaxation, and inflammation reduction, the heat from the medicinal herb compress dramatically eases any muscle tensions.

The heat from the herbal compress also increases critical blood flow to vital organs like your heart and brain so you can get more nutrients or oxygen to those areas which need it most!
