These steamed herbal balls have an incredible ability to soften myofascial tension, alleviating muscle and joint pain and restoring an over-taxed nervous system. The treatment is comforting and sedating to the recipients while these anti-inflammatory herbs do their work.
The herbal poultice can be integrated into different massage sessions. This is why you do not have to currently practice Thai Massage to take this class. With the new knowledge of these healing botanicals, you will be ready to add a new service to your menu.

Fernanda has been working with Arucha, an herbalist in Northern Thailand that makes these wonderful bundles for our practice, made to order.
Arucha has a disability called Neurofibromatosis type 2. Yet she works hard to create these wonderful bundles of herbs harvested from their farm with her mother. We are happy to support her while keeping these traditions alive while sharing this healing modality with our students.
