Herbal compress massage is a therapeutic technique that combines the effects of heat, phytochemical compounds contained in herbs, and manual tissue stimulation. The treatment is designed to stimulate microcirculation, activate the lymphatic system, support detoxification processes, and induce deep calming of the nervous system.
During the procedure, heated herbal compresses filled with carefully selected herbal blends are used. These blends offer relaxing, regenerative, and tissue-metabolism–supporting properties. This lesson introduces participants to the principles of preparing herbal compresses and herbs, working techniques, safe heat application, and proper client qualification.
The learning process includes theoretical instruction, video materials, detailed step-by-step guidance, and a certificate of completion, preparing participants to consciously and safely perform herbal compress massage in professional practice.
