A Traditional Remedy in Compress Form
Friday, January 18th, 2008
Thai Herbal Compress:
10 teaspoons lime zest
6 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
3-4 stalks of lemongrass, cut and pounded
20 eucalyptus leaves, crushed
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon camphor granules
Directions for use:
Always use two sachets for each treatment so one sachet can be heating on a steamer while the other is being applied to the body.
1. Mix all ingredients and wrap in a piece of terry cloth fabric. Tightly tie the edge of the compress pouch with a string. You can even use something called a compress ball, which is pictures above. You can purchase them at any health food store worldwide.
2. Bring the water to a boil in the steamer.
3. Lightly sprinkle the pouches with water, and steam for 10 minutes.
4. Compress gently on the skin, making sure not to hold on any one spot for very long-simply touch, press, lift and move in the compress in a constant and rapid fashion.
5. Repeat for all desired areas of the body that need treatment.
