Soothing Pain Relievers - by Spa Ceylon

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.

Specially selected therapeutic ingredients are tied tightly in natural cloth, steamed for a few minutes, then dipped in medicated herbal oils or massage balms & applied to the body. On application, the heat induces sweating, thereby helping to bring toxins to the surface of the skin. It follows then, that once the pores are open; skin absorbs the properties of the herbs for 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.

Black Sesame Pain Reliever
This is great for soothing natural pain relief for muscular tension, stiffness, joint aches & pains.  The blend of Black Sesame, Lemongrass, Black Seed & Black Pepper contained in the compress helps treat inflammations & minor skin irritations while effectively calming & de-stressing body & mind.
