AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT OUR HOLIDAY ADD-ONS: HERBAL POULTICE THERAPY

Our Holiday Packages give you exclusive access to fun and beneficial add-ons! Each one is designed to provide you with an invigorating experience that benefits your body in different ways. Let's take a look at what we're offering this year:

Herbal Poultice Therapy

Perhaps not very well-known, herbal poultices have a number of benefits that range from reducing tension and stress to helping relieve symptoms of the cold and flu. The benefits change depending on what types of herbs and essential oils are used in the poultice. Very similar to tea, an herbal poultice is usually a muslin bag packed tight with dried or fresh herbs along with essential oils. They're easy to make and to use! All you need to do is apply it
warm to a part of your body, such as your chest, back, hands or feet, and let it sit there for a while until it cools. You can also place it under running water while taking a bath or on the floor of your shower, letting the steam carry all the benefits of the herbs and essential oils up into the air (kind of like a giant diffuser). The herbal poultices we created for this add-on include rosemary, thyme, cinnamon bark, turmeric, ginger and green tea, along with lemongrass, clove and cinnamon leaf essential oils. This blend will help with symptoms of the cold and flu, prevent the cold and help reduce stress and tension. 

How is it used in session?

During your session, your therapist will apply the herbal poultice (warm) to the back or chest wrapped in a warm, damp towel. The poultice will remain in the area while your therapist continues your massage to increase the lymphatic flow and carry the benefits of the poultice through your body. Once the massage is over, your therapist will give you the poultice to take home so you can reuse it in the bath, shower, or place in a pot of hot water on the stove to diffuse throughout your home. 

What if I don't want this add-on?

That's okay! We have two other great add-ons that are available with our Holiday Packages. Please read our upcoming blog posts to get an in-depth look at each one!
