Herbal Compress Therapy, Explained

Herbal compress therapy uses linen bundles filled with lemongrass, turmeric, kaffir lime and other botanicals, steamed and pressed gently against the body. The warmth opens pores and eases muscle stiffness, while the herbs release a grounding, earthy aroma.

It is often paired with a Thai or oil massage, applied to areas that carry the most tension — shoulders, lower back and feet — for a therapy that feels both medicinal and comforting.

Guests frequently ask to take a compress home; we prepare fresh bundles daily so every session uses herbs at their most fragrant.
