The Thai medicinal healing practice of Herbal Ball Compress Massage is based on ancient knowledge of the healing properties of plants and herbs and their application for the body.

Thai herbal compresses (or herbal stamps) know many applications. A few examples are soothing and relieving pain and inflammations of muscles, tendons and ligaments, stimulating the blood circulation and the lymphatic system, and promoting general wellbeing.

Important in the application of herbal compresses is the usage of herbs with therapeutic qualities, such as ginger, turmeric, kaffir lime, camphor, tamarind and lemongrass. A specific mix of herbs is wrapped in a cotton compress (ball), then steamed, and when hot, applied to the body by gliding, pressing, or smearing the compress in linear, circular, and/or rolling movements.

In Thailand, Herbal Compress Massage is called Luk Pra Kob. Treatments are popular in Thailand, can be obtained virtually everywhere, and its popularity is rapidly increasing in the West and other countries. The herbs and plants used are generally cheap and quite easy to find, and treatments seem to be effective.
