An Herbal Compress is the perfect complement to any type of massage. This course is designed for LMT’s and Thai Therapists who want to learn how to use this ancient healing technique. The healing practice of Thai herbal compress therapy dates back to an era when the knowledge of plants, including their effects through ingestion or application on the body, were painstakingly researched and then passed down from one generation to the next.

Compresses have been used in Traditional Thai Medicine (TTM) for more than 400 years. The popularity that these herbal compresses have long enjoyed was mainly due to their easy adaptability—the treatment is neither expensive nor complicated, yet it is effective.

The student will learn about the use of specific herbs in the context of the 10 tastes; how to determine the correct herbal compresses; trigger point therapy; using hot and cold compresses; and will also have a practice session using the herbal compresses.
