What is herbal massage?
During Thai herbal massage, the massage therapists use herbal balls to perform the treatment. This special massage technique has its origins in traditional Thai medicine. It has been used for centuries to harmonize body and mind. Herbal balls contain various herbs and plant extracts which are applied to the skin after steaming. The warmth and essential oils not only relieve tension, but also stimulate circulation and help eliminate toxins.

The hot herbal balls open the pores of the skin. This allows the herbs to exert their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiseptic effects directly on the muscles. Thai herbal massage is a traditional technique in traditional Thai medicine.

The process of herbal massage
The guest lies comfortably on the massage bed in a prone position and surrenders to the soothing relaxation. Our experienced masseurs will work their way over the entire body, relaxing each point and paying special attention to the more problematic/stressed areas.
You can also request this type of massage without oil, but we recommend the oily version, as it can be a great help in working the longitudinal back muscles. Regular back massage increases blood circulation, reduces the risk of edema and optimises muscle tone.
Thanks to its effect on collagen production, the body's muscle tissues become more elastic. This can also increase the range of motion and makes our movements easier. The collagen ensures better coordination of movement thanks to the fluid between the joints.
