The ancient Thai practice of making and using natural herbal compresses to help relieve sore muscles and soothe inflammation is still practised to this day. Commonly used to accompany traditional Thai massage, the cloth compresses, or luk prakob, are filled with local herbs, such as turmeric, lemongrass, kaffir lime and camphor, that are known for their unique healing properties. Guests at Santiburi Koh Samui can learn more about the traditional therapy and even make their own herbal compress guided by the resort’s expert spa team and using herbs found onsite in the chef’s garden.
