Herbal massage is an ancient healing technique that dates to the 14th Century Ayutthaya Kingdom in Siam and is integrated into the public health system in Thailand, meaning everyone there gets to benefit from it. Benefic has brought this technique to New Zealand so we can also now reap the multitude of benefits offered by this ancient treatment. The Thai Herbal Ball compress technique offers several potential health benefits: It induces deep relaxation, relieves stress and fatigue, boosts both emotional and physical well-being, assists alignment and postural integrity of the body, improves circulation of blood and lymph, stimulates the internal organs. Hot compresses are ideal for alleviating pain, stiffness, soreness, or pulled muscles and ligaments, chronic back aches, arthritis, even skin conditions, migraines and chronic stress or anxiety.
