Thai heat therapy (http://www.melissawest.com/index-36.html)with an herbal compress is part of traditional Thai massage (http://www.melissawest.com/index-36.html)and is frequently used in Thailand. An herbal compress can be either hot or cold. The cold compress is commonly used in first aid treatments. The hot compress is commonly used to treat chronic disease. This healing therapy from Thailand blends the profound benefits of heat, aroma, herbs and acupressure.
Traditional Thai theory states that heat increases energy flow, improves circulation, relaxes muscles and stimulates nerves. Hot compresses are especially beneficial to treat:
stiff, sore or pulled muscles and ligaments
back pain
arthritis
chronic pain or injury
internal organs
skin disease
migraines
chronic stress and anxiety
A hot compress applied to muscles and joints may relieve soreness and pain and increase levels of flexibility. Applying the hot compress to the abdominal area will energize and tone the internal organs.
The blended herbs in the Thai herbal compress have a profound simultaneously relaxing and energize effect on the body, mind, and soul. The heat penetrates the pores, the skin becomes heated and blood flow is stimulated, resulting in a rapid rebuilding and nourishing of the body's tissues.
The herbs hold the heat from steam to deeply penetrate and relax the muscles and tendons. This aids in stretching contracted muscles to alleviate pain and tension in the body.
Deep relaxation relieves stress and improves overall health and well-being, boosting the body's natural energy while soothing and calming the mind. Heat therapy melts away tension and pain.
One of the most unique aspects of the herbal compress is that it may be used on the joints. By accessing areas where it is impossible to massage thai heat therapy can bring soothing relief to joints and arthritic areas.
Applying the hot compress while gently stretching the body allows the body to open more easily. Thai herbal compresses are used in conjunction with a tradition Thai massage.
