Soothing
herbal compresses are a time-honoured healing therapy recommended in Ayurveda
for effective relief from body pains, skin problems & dosha imbalances.
Packed with goodness, warmed pouches containing Ayurveda herbs, plants, roots,
and more, have been applied to sore, sprained or tired bodies for centuries.
Classified as a Swedanam (Sanskrit for sweat therapy) in the Vedic texts, the
herbal compress is both detoxifying & healing.
Herbal
compresses have proven so popular over the centuries that the fame of this fast
acting therapy has spread to other cultures too. Today, many South East Asian
herbal health care practices rely on the herbal compress to relieve sore muscles
and joint pains.
Traditional Herbal Compress
Spa
Ceylon offers a range of traditional herbal compresses in several sizes,
designed to suit the individual dosha types and also offers a unique black
sesame compress to soothe severe body aches. While smaller compresses are
designed to be used for facial & forehead massage, medium sizes are recommended
for scalp and foot massage, with the larger compresses designed for use in full
body treatments, especially back & shoulder areas.
Heat Activate!
For
best results place the Herbal Compress in a steamer for 15 minutes to heat
activate ingredients. If time is an issue, spray on some water to moisten
compress and pop it into your microwave for 30 seconds for fast-action heat
therapy. Then apply a suitable treatment balm on areas to be treated & massage
with Herbal Compress for 15 minutes. While compresses can be re-used upto 10
times, refrigerated storage is recommended after use.
