Herbal Poultice Massage: A Journey into Ancient Healing

Experience a unique and deeply restorative massage that combines traditional techniques with the power of steamed herbal poultices. This service is designed to provide a holistic approach to your well-being, addressing both physical tension and energetic imbalances.

What is an Herbal Poultice?

Originating from ancient Thai and Southeast Asian healing traditions, an herbal poultice is a muslin compress tightly packed with a therapeutic blend of organic herbs and spices. These poultices are steamed to release their potent aromas and medicinal properties, creating a powerful synergy of heat, aromatherapy, and therapeutic touch. Our custom-blended poultices include a curated selection of herbs known for their anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, and muscle-relaxing benefits.

The Experience

Your session begins with a traditional, fully customized massage, where your therapist will use their hands to warm and prepare the muscles. Once your body is ready, the steamed herbal poultice compresses are introduced. The therapist will use a rhythmic, rolling, and pressing motion to apply the warm poultices directly to areas of tension, such as the back, neck, shoulders, and feet. The penetrating heat and aromatic herbs work together to soothe sore muscles, increase circulation, and promote deep relaxation.

This unique treatment is offered in two durations to best suit your needs:

• 60-Minute Herbal Poultice Massage: A focused session to target specific areas of tension and introduce you to the therapeutic benefits of the herbal poultice. This is an excellent choice for a quick reset and to alleviate localized muscle soreness.

• 90-Minute Herbal Poultice Massage: A comprehensive, full-body experience. This extended session allows for a deeper and more thorough integration of the herbal poultice, giving your therapist ample time to work through all areas of the body, leaving you feeling completely renewed, balanced, and deeply relaxed.

Benefits of an Herbal Poultice Massage:

• Deep Muscle Relaxation: The combination of heat and therapeutic massage helps to melt away deep-seated tension and knots.

• Reduced Inflammation: Herbs like turmeric and ginger are known for their powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to soothe aching joints and muscles.

• Improved Circulation: The warmth of the poultice increases blood flow, helping to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and flush out toxins.

• Aroma-therapeutic Benefits: The aromatic steam from the herbs provides a calming and uplifting sensory experience, promoting mental clarity and stress reduction.

• Detoxification: The heat and herbs work to stimulate the lymphatic system, assisting the body's natural detoxification processes.

• Enhanced Skin Health: The natural oils and antioxidants in the herbs can help to nourish and soften the skin, leaving it with a healthy glow.

Embark on a journey to wellness with our Herbal Poultice Massage and discover the ancient secret to modern relaxation and healing.

Unwind deeply and target stubborn muscle knots with our therapeutic Deep Tissue Massage. This powerful 60-minute session, performed by a skilled and Licensed Massage Therapist, is designed to address chronic tension and pain held within the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Slow, deliberate strokes and focused pressure are used to reach underlying muscle tissue, releasing chronic tightness and improving mobility. Our therapist will identify and apply sustained pressure to specific "trigger points" – hyperirritable spots in muscles that can cause localized pain or refer pain to other areas of the body. This technique helps to release tension and alleviate discomfort. By addressing deep-seated tension and trigger points, this massage can effectively reduce pain, improve range of motion, and promote overall musculoskeletal health. Unlike a relaxation focused massage, this service requires open communication between the therapist and client to make sure that your body is welcoming of the deeper pressure.  If you're experiencing persistent muscle pain, stiffness, or limited movement, our Deep Tissue Massage with Trigger Point Therapy offers a focused and effective path towards relief and recovery.

MLD is utilized in conjunction with a Massage Therapy Session or completely on its own. MLD uses a gentle, lighter pressure which assists the flushing of lymphatic fluid that sits between the skin and the muscle tissue. This rhythmic technique assists the body to rid itself of stagnant excess fluid and toxins, boost your immune function, and provides essential opportunities to create a reset when recovering from many long term chronic systemic dysfunctions as well as surgeries.

Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet and hands. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body.

According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, digestive issues, and depression. This service is complete with an herbal foot soak, detoxifying scrub, and steamed aromatherapy hot towels.
