What is herbal medicine therapy?

Herbal Medicine Therapy is a traditional healing treatment that uses a warm herbal compress filled with aromatic medicinal herbs to relax the body, soothe sore muscles, and support natural healing. The herbal blend—often including lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, kaffir lime, and camphor—releases therapeutic properties when steamed. When pressed gently along the body, the warm compress delivers deep relaxation, reduces muscle tension, and enhances overall wellbeing.


This therapy has been practiced for centuries in Thai healing traditions to restore balance and promote holistic health.

How does herbal medicine therapy work?

Your therapist begins by steaming the herbal compress until it becomes warm and aromatic. The heat activates the natural oils and healing properties of the herbs inside the poultice. The therapist then applies the warm compress to the body using gentle pressing, rolling, and circular motions along tense areas and energy lines.

The warmth helps open pores, relax muscles, and increase blood flow, while the herbs calm inflammation, ease pain, and refresh the senses. The compress may be combined with a traditional massage to enhance relaxation and encourage deeper healing.

Your therapist will adjust the temperature and pressure to your comfort. If the compress feels too warm or if you have sensitive skin, always communicate with your therapist.

For the best results, arrive a few minutes early to unwind before your session. First-time guests may be asked to complete a brief health questionnaire to ensure the herbs and techniques are suitable for your condition. Avoid heavy meals or alcohol prior to the treatment.
