According to tradition – a mixture of exotic herbs such as lemon grass, turmeric, kaffir lime zest, or camphor is wrapped around cotton cloth, which forms a stamp that is heated in essential oil directly before the treatment. Heating releases the properties and active ingredients of the herbal mixture, which have a direct effect on our skin and respiratory system. With time, when the temperature of the compresses decreases – the intensity of pressure on the body increases.
Currently, cinnamon, ginger, coffee, cloves, guarana, sea salt, eucalyptus leaves, and marine algae are also used – these ingredients have stimulant and lipoclastic properties. They are also applied to slimming and cellulite treatments. Heated stamps release fragrances, which soothe and calm the nerves.
