Herbal Compress - Drive Away Aches, Sprains and Stress; Energize Yourself

The Essence

The healing method of using Herbal Compress is said to be almost 5,000 years old. It is the outcome of meticulous research conducted in the ancient times, and which has been consistently enhanced while being passed down from one generation to the other.

Highly curative aromatic herbs and spices are mixed as per ancient recipes; draped in a muslin compress; steamed; and subsequently applied on the body, with rounded and systematic movements. The compress, called luk pra kob, is a proven treatment for curing muscular swelling and pains, and inflammations, among others.
