A workshop to learn to mix and prepare fresh and dry herbs and rhizomes, and to practice giving and receiving Thai herbal treatments. Each participant returns home with a supply of herbs and compresses for future practice.

Luk pra kob (Thai herbal compress therapy) is a very important element of the healing traditions of Thailand. Fresh and dry Thai herbs and roots are mixed, wrapped into compresses, steamed, and then applied to the body. This is an ancient tradition in Thailand; one that has many applications in the modern world. The effects of a Thai herbal session can be truly amazing - aches and pains seem to fade away, and you feel relaxed yet energized.

In this workshop we learn to mix and prepare fresh and dry herbs and rhizomes, and we practice giving and receiving Thai herbal treatments. Each participant returns home with a supply of herbs and compresses for future practice. The workshop is open to massage therapists, bodyworkers, spa therapists, alternative healers, couples and friends. Previous experience in herbalism is not required.
