Herbal Compress

A herbal compress is a cloth bundle filled with a mixture of dried herbs. It is heated over steam and then rolled and dabbed over the muscle. Warmth, light pressure and the scent of the herbs arrive at the same time, and that is what makes it different from every other treatment in the house.

The scent is strong and unmistakable, more savoury than floral. Most people like it a great deal, some not at all. If you are unsure, smell a compress before the treatment: it takes ten seconds.

Because the compresses are damp and warm, a little of that stays on the skin afterwards. Plan the appointment for the evening rather than before meeting someone.

A good fit if

• Anyone who likes warmth and wants something other than hands or stones
• Muscle that is tight across a broad area rather than in single points
• The cold half of the year

Please note

• Not with allergies to herbs or grasses unless the mixture has been checked beforehand.
• Not on inflamed or broken skin.
• As with any heat treatment: check with your doctor first if you have circulatory problems.
