Thai Herbal Heat Thearapy

The healing practice of Thai herbal compress balls dates back nearly thousands of years. This practice was originally applied to Thai royalty via elaborate treatments and to soldiers for aches and pains after returning from battle. Its popularity grew with rural folk medicine during a time when the knowledge of plants and herbs, including their effects through ingestion or application on the body, were greatly studied, researched and incorporated into Thai medicinal healing practices used by healers and herbalists. In turn, these people passed on this knowledge and their techniques from one generation to the next.

Herbal compress therapy retains its popularity in Thailand and is offered throughout the country—from storefront massage establishments to high-end spas to the Traditional Thai Massage School in the temple of Wat Pho in Bangkok.
