What is Massage aux Pochons?

Pouch massage, also known as Thai compress massage, is a massage technique that combines elements of traditional Thai massage with the use of herbal pouches. These pouches are bags filled witha mixture of aromatic herbs, often medicinal herbs, spices and sometimes mineral salts.

The massage is performed in two stages:

• Step 1: application of black sesame oil or an ayurvedic herbal blend.
• Step 2: application of steam-heated pouches that act as a fomentation to activate circulation and nourish tissues with the active principles of the plants.

To be enjoyed or offered, this type of massage is appreciated for its soothing and revitalizing properties, and is often chosen for its combined effects of massage, aromatherapy and thermotherapy.
