Luk Pra Kob
Luk Pra Kob
The benefits of heat (and / or cold), combined with the magic of the plants.
Luk Pra Kob is an ancient Thai technique that uses small bundles of medicinal herbs wrapped in muslin cloth. These compresses are steamed, or used frozen, and applied to energy meridians and painful areas of the body during a Thai Massage.
The selected herbs (such as ginger, lemongrass, turmeric, camphor, rosemary, etc.) in the making of these little wonders, are recognized for their therapeutic values. They have anti-inflammatory properties that soothe tired and stiff muscles.
These bundles also help increase energy, circulation, and relieve congestion of the sinuses and airways. It is a truly extraordinary tool that makes each session even more divine! The herbs bundles are used to relax areas where blockages are felt before a deeper work. They can be used at the beginning of a session to invite relaxation or at the end to facilitate integration.
The bundles can be combined with Thai Yoga Massage, Thai foot reflexology and even Lomi Lomi! They can also be used during a special Thai Massage Protocol for pregnant women.
