Thai Stem Hot Herbal Massage

​Thai Stem is a form of massage that has drawn on various modalities to create a soothing, purifying, and rejuvenating treatment.  The blending of Swedish, Thai, Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi, and lymphatic drainage give this treatment a flowing and remedial effect.  The hot compress is applied to the body allowing the heat and herbal components to penetrate deep into the tissues. The herbs and heat ease muscle pain and promote whole body healing and detoxification.

Possible benefits of this therapy:
  • improved immune function
  • detoxification of system
  • improved circulation
  • relieves symptoms from stress and anxiety
  • promotes relaxation

Each treatment involves two “stems” or herbal compress balls, in addition to the massage techniques. The stems used for this treatment are a blend of several specific herbs, wrapped in unbleached cotton and steamed to release the beneficial oils and essences of the plants. The deep moist heat produced by the steamed stems is highly effective when dealing with deep seated muscle tension and the aromatherapy offered by the herbs is a wonderful way to encourage relaxation and promote the healing process. The cotton covering and the oils produced by the herbs offers an additional advantage of exfoliating, cleansing and improving the skin.

This is a full body, 60 minute treatment.
Note: The stems are organic and are produced and bought through a fair trade company.
