Perfect for clients in Auckland and Rotorua, this treatment uses a warm, steamed compress filled with aromatic herbs to ease muscle stiffness, boost circulation, and relax the mind.
Whether you’re dealing with stress, fatigue, chronic pain, or simply need a holistic reset, Herbal Ball Massage is a gentle yet powerful way to restore balance and energy.
What Is a Herbal Ball Massage?
Also known as herbal compress massage, this therapy originates from traditional Thai medicine. A cotton muslin cloth is filled with a curated mix of medicinal herbs—including turmeric, lemongrass, kaffir lime, camphor, and ginger—and steamed until warm. The compress (or “herbal ball”) is then rhythmically pressed, rolled, and kneaded along the body to deliver moist heat, herbal infusion, and muscle relief.
The combination of heat and herbal properties works wonders for both physical and emotional healing.
Benefits of Herbal Ball Massage
1. Eases Muscle Tension and Joint Pain
The warm herbal compress penetrates deep into the muscles, relaxing tight tissue and alleviating stiffness—ideal for sore backs, stiff necks, and tired legs.
2. Improves Circulation and Detoxification
Steam heat opens pores and enhances blood flow, helping the body eliminate toxins naturally.
3. Boosts Immunity and Vitality
Many of the herbs used in the compress have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-strengthening properties.
4. Relieves Stress and Promotes Sleep
The soothing warmth and aroma of the herbs create a calming sensory experience, helping reduce anxiety, lower cortisol levels, and promote deep relaxation and better sleep.
5. Revives Energy Flow
In Thai tradition, Herbal Ball Massage is used to balance the body’s Sen energy lines, restoring internal harmony and boosting vitality.
