used in traditional Thai medicine. The hot herbal compress
contains numerous plants that are firmly bound in the fabric
that is steamed until it is heated, and then it is firmly
rolled.

body in order to calm the muscles and stimulate vital organs
and senses. Compresses are traditionally applied after Thai
massage to prevent bruising, reduce muscle stress and
heal skin diseases.

- relief from general muscle pain, pain and tension relief;
- improvement and stimulation of lymphatic system;
- increasing blood flow and circulation.
