Herbal Compress Massage Benefits the Well-Being of Body and Mind
Herbal compresses have a warming effect on the skin and emit a pleasant, natural fragrance. As the compresses are steamed, the soothing aroma of the herbs is released. The aromas have healing and relaxing effects, particularly for the lungs and nasal membranes, which are sensitive to the scents and essential properties of the herbs.
A herbal compress massage offers a similar effect to hot stone massages due to the intense heat of the compresses. Like with hot stone massage, herbal compresses apply consistent to firm pressure.
