Thai Herbal Heat Poultice




Heat compresses always relieves muscle pains and aches....wont you agree? Heat has always been used traditionally in herbal infused treatments to help the body absorb the goodness of herbal remedies. If you have ever tried a hot stone massage, you will know how the warm sensation helps to relax and soothe body and soul leaving you relaxed and renewed.









The Thai Herbal Heat Poultice is especially good post partum as it helps in slimming...a word of caution...please...it is not suitable for pregnant ladies !

The Herbal Poultice treatment utilizes warmed muslin poultices of Thai and Chinese herbs that are steamed and applied directly to the body in a kneading action. This traditional treatment has been practiced to soothe muscle tension and stiffness on the key areas. Heat and herbs are absorbed by the body to help to reduce aches and pains, increase lymphatic drainage and condition the skin. In addition to ginger, lemongrass, camphor and other indigenous organic Thai herbs, the poultice contains antioxidants turmeric, a natural skin softener, and tamarind, which hydrates and regenerates skin cells. This herbal heat poultice is used in well reknowned spas in Thailand.

You can actually make this yourself at home. Here is a recipe from The Oriental Spa, Bangkok

Prai (thai herb)
Tumeric
Lemon grass
Kaffir Lime
Camphor

The above ingredients are tied into a ball using muslin. It is then put into a steamer and heated for 10-15 minutes. It can be left steaming until needed at least 5 minutes. The poultice is then placed anywhere on the body. Leave the poultice at the designated area for about 30 seconds to one minute at a time. The poultice is rolled or kneaded over the designated area to further transfer the heat

Do not use on the face or genital areas and because of the tumeric, temporary yellow skin staining will occur.

Use this treatment on a regular basis and it will aid in slimming, leaving you totally relaxed and with beautiful skin.

Dry as a matchstick, but with an internet marriage site,
you are what you attract. There are so many negative preconceived notions about LGBT how
to get a boyfriend back fast, especially the ones who are allowed
to do the same. They understand that no one likes to be
told what to do or not to proceed seriously.
