Herbal massage sachets

The Thai herbal massage bag is a science and art that was used in Thailand to treat illness. Herbal sachets have been mentioned since ancient times in various historical sources. The reason was to capture the knowledge of this method for many generations to come. This particular Thai method is one of the things that has been associated with Thai culture for over a thousand years.

It consists of different types of herbs. Most of them are herbs with essential oils whose aroma is released when heated, these are Plai (Zingiber Cassumunar), Turmeric, Zedoaria, Lemongrass, Kaffir, Camphor etc... These herbs are sliced, wrapped in cloth and molded into a shape resembling a ball bag. The bag is heated through streaming or by microwaving. The bag is then pressed against various areas of the body. When the herbs are heated, essential oils and active healing substances are released, which pass from the herbs through the skin into the blood and lymph circulation, sweat glands, tissues and collagen throughout the body. The part of the body that comes into contact with the Thai herbal massage bag effectively receives active healing substances and essential oils that regenerate and relieve inflammation and pain.
