Nuad Pra Kob –Ancient Royal Thai Herbal Compress Massage

This treatment has a long history, as it was practiced during Thailand’s Ayutthaya period (14th – 18th Century), when a fragrant hot pack was administered to war-weary soldiers returning home with muscle aches and bruises.

Today the poultice is still used to alleviate pain and inflammation by opening the pores and bringing a medicinal heat to the muscles to induce relaxation. The herbal compresses are soaked and steamed, and the steamed poultices are then worked into the body along the sen lines (or energy lines) in a massage format.

Thai massage concentrates on the major energy meridians that run throughout the body to bring harmony, to loosen energy blockages, and to recoup deficiencies along these energy lines. It relaxes the muscles while stimulates blood circulation and energy flow.
