Thai Herbal therapy involves the application of plant
extracts over the body.. The plants, preferably freshly cut, are
crushed, mixed and placed in a small cloth package – the “ballot”.
Heated by a steaming process, the plants (such as Bergamot, Ginger,
Acacia, Citronella, Camphor and Eucalyptus) release their active
agents under the effect of the steam
The healing practice of Thai herbal compress therapy dates back
nearly 5,000 years, to an era when the knowledge of plants, including
their effects through ingestion or application on the body, were
painstakingly researched and then passed down from one generation
to the next. This herbal therapy was designed to relieve pain and
inflammation. A selection of therapeutic herbs, including prai,
ginger, turmeric and lemongrass, are wrapped in a muslin compress,
steamed and then applied to the body in gentle pressing, circular
and rolling movements. In Thailand, the herbal compress is called
luk pra kob, translated as “herbal pressing sphere.” To make the
compress, a combination of healing herbs is bundled together in
accordance with ancient recipes, steamed and placed directly on
the skin to soothe muscular aches and swelling.
