Herbal Compress Massage

The warmth of the compresses reaches deep into the tissue and the muscles let go almost by themselves. The herbs, among them lemongrass, ginger, turmeric and kaffir lime, release their essences into the oil and the skin, which feels soft and fresh afterwards. Many find the treatment especially welcome in the cold season.

The massage begins like an oil massage on the table. Then the herbal compresses come in: cotton pouches filled with herbs and spices, warmed in hot oil. They are rolled over the body, dabbed on gently and placed on tense areas. In between your therapist continues with her hands, so that warmth and technique alternate.

For anyone who loves warmth and feels deep-seated tension, particularly in the back and shoulders. Not suitable with fever, acute inflammation or an intolerance of heat.
