Herbal Massage
Current Conditions
Herbal massage is a method to improve blood circulation and remove toxins via the kidney and urine. This is
also a way of maintaining health of postpartum mothers, increasing skin quality and removing fat. Herbs used
include plai, lemongrass, curcuma zedoria roscoe, turmeric and kaffir lime skin, among others. These herbs are
combined in a sachet and steamed until they fuse. This sachet is then applied to the massage area (invariably
over a cloth so as not to burn the skin underneath).
Problems
Beneficial herbs must be used. Roots and heartwood must not be used. Postpartum mothers often encounter
problems of strains and allover body fatigue. This causes a lack of self-confidence in the ability of the
postpartum mother to maintain their own health and condition. Traditional herbal massage is the best
folk-wisdom-inspired way to remedy these problems.
