Using Herbs for What Ails You
It is possible to make a personalized herbal compress according to your own or someone else’s health needs. Although the proper technique and expertise is required. And though it is recommended to use as many ingredients as possible for best results and to create a richer scent, the herbs listed below can offer the following specific benefits and should be used in abundance in a compress designed to address that particular need. Lymphatic drainage, swelling and imflammation can all be treated with an herbal compress.However, never use one herb only, always try to maintain a balance between several herbs at once:
• Sweet basil: Headaches
• Turmeric: Stomach Discomfort
• Plai: Strains, sprains, and muscular pain
• Nutmeg: Joint pains
• Kaffir Lime: Sore muscles and breathing problems
• Ginger: Boosting circulation
• Galangal: Skin disease
• Lemongrass: Colic and fatigue
• Camphor: Spasms, cramps and muscle pain
Taking any of these herbs together to treat specific ailments is easy. Choose a few that you are needing to treat certain soreness or even cramps. Wrap those choosen herbs in cheese cloth and tie off with twine. If you do a dry compress, be sure and soak the herbs for a few hours or they will be to stiff to work with inside the cheese cloth. A warm, wet compress is the best for drainage.
