A variation of the traditional Thai steam therapy, our herbal bath uses the healing properties of Thai herbs to revitalise the mind and cleanse the entire body. This was developed at the Banyan Tree resort in Phuket, it's very easy to make. Start with a muslin cloth bag (our Thai tea filter works great, as shown). Place inside about 6 chunks of dried galangal, a small handful of dried lemongrass, 6-8 kaffir lime leaves, 1 teaspoon ginger powder, then add about 10 drops of the splendidly-aromatic pandan paste which also gives the water a tropical sea-green color. Tie it with a cotton string. Place the herbal pack under running water and fill your tub. Shower and scrub your skin before stepping into the bath, then soak for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy the aromatic bath, and the way your skin feels afterward. Complementary Thai mulberry tea. Also see our recipe for eucalyptus herbal vapor using some of the same ingredients. We will upgrade to Expedited USPS at no extra charge.
