Luk Prakop / Herbal Compress Ball

Luk prakop is a traditional Thai herbal ball (warm compress): medicinal herbs wrapped in cloth, steamed, and pressed to the body.

RootHerbs such as plai and turmeric are central to it, and it is deeply tied to the cultures of Thai massage and the herbal sauna — one of the traditional techniques covered in JRHA on-site training.
