THAI PLAI HERBAL CALM BALM (Mixed Cooling and Warming Thai Plai herbal cream helps to relieve muscular pains, and sprains for greater mobility and an improved therapeutic experience.)What is PLAI? Plai (Zingiber cassumunar Roxb.) is a member of the Zingiberaceae family, as is Ginger essential oil but unlike Ginger, Plai has been used in traditional Thai massage for many years to combat joint and muscle problems and it is more intense that using Ginger oil. It is native to Thailand, Indonesia and India and it is a pale yellow in colour, steam distilled from the fresh rhizomes unlike Ginger, which is distilled from the dried rhizomes.
The aroma is pleasantly fresh herbaceous and slightly peppery so has a nice zing!
Therapeutic applicationIt is used increasingly for management of pain, especially for any chronic conditions such as arthritis, inflammatory digestive disorders, inflammatory skin conditions and inflammatory respiratory conditions. It is also great for helping torn ligaments, tendonitis, muscular spasm, menstrual cramps and basically any chronic joint pain (Worwood 2016).

Joint and Muscle Pain from osteoarthritis - a cream was made up for self-application in a 3% dilution containing Plai, Black Pepper, Juniper and Lemon oils. We used slightly less of the Black Pepper oil as it is rubefacient and can cause sensitisation and irritation in high amounts. Within 2 days, the client reported a huge amount of pain relief and did not need to take his NSAIDS.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome - again mix this in a 3% dilution in a base lotion with Plai, Black Pepper, Orange and Peppermint and apply the blend across the abdomen following a bowel movement or anytime there is any cramping or pain in the abdominal area. In one case study, it only took 3 applications of this blend for the symptoms to recede.
Replacement Knee Surgery - Plai was blended with Nutmeg and Lemon oil as a postoperative blend for a total knee replacement in a 5% dilution in a rollette bottle above and below the surgical area. Tissue inflammation and swelling was significantly lower than in the area that had the same surgery without the use of the blend. With the Plai blend, no pain releif medication was required to control post surgical pain.

“I made this turmeric ginger massage oil to remember my dad’ s love.
When I was young, each time I got minor scrapes or bruising from playing, my dad would chew some fresh ginger and then put it on the sore areas and cover with cloth. When I got up in the morning, any pain and swelling were gone.
Thus I learned the benefit of ginger with my own experience. I appreciate my dad’s love and I want everyone to experience the benefit of the ginger.
I researched how to make ginger massage oil until I found the perfect solution. I mix the organic ginger with a little bit of turmeric (as we know turmeric is good for skin.)
I cut and dried them and waited about a week until the ginger and turmeric were completely dry. Then I blended them in the carrier oil, and waited about one month until the concentrated ginger and turmeric absorbed into the carrier oil. The carrier oil turned a beautiful color, and now it’s ready to use.

Thai Jade Gua Sha Massage (Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Face and Neck)30 min plus 25 min head and shoulder massage $ 120Followed by 55 minutes massage $175What is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha is a traditional Eastern Asian practice that translate in English to “scraping the pain away” This practice has been adapted from a full body vigorously detoxifying treatment to a beautifying relaxing ritual for the face, neck, and decolletage. Healing crystal stones are gently stroked across the skin to encourage lymphatic flow, increase circulation, and smooth and lift the skin.
The lymphatic system removes toxins and metabolic waste from cells all over the body, carrying these substances away in lymphatic fluid (lymph). When lymph circulation is impaired or overwhelmed, lymph fluid can build up. This shows up in the face as swelling and puffiness, and even bags under the eyes.
womanhealthnetwork.com
“Lymphatic drainage massage is a form of gentle massage that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body.
The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from body tissues. Some health conditions can cause lymph fluid to build up. Lymphatic drainage massages can benefit people with lymphedema, fibromyalgia, or other conditions.”

Body scrubs remove dead skin cells, and so provide several benefits:
They allow your skin to absorb moisturizer better. By doing dead skin cell buildup, any moisturizer applied afterward will soak into the skin more thoroughly. They unclog pores and prevent ingrown hairs. They leave your skin smooth and more even. When dry skin is not removed, it makes the skin rough to the touch and has a dull, cracked texture and appearance.
Besides that body scrubs can help promote circulation and blood flow. Healthline.com

If a person took pure gold (24-karat gold) and put it on an area of infection or a sore spot, it is said that it will help heal the wound and control infection. Moreover, in olden times, it was considered that gold possessed an energy that brought warm, soothing vibrations to the body to aid healing, for when the body relaxes and the blood vessels in the cells aren’t as constricted, blood can move through the tissue spaces more easily. Since all healing is the growth of new cells replacing the dead cells, the body would heal much better and faster, just as those people who have learned to meditate and use the other various arts of relaxation can testify.

Gold is believed to have a relaxing effect. When you feel something made of 24-karat gold it will have a soft, velvety texture. Nothing feels like pure gold. But it loses its effectiveness when combined with other metals. Gold is a great de-stressor; since ancient time gold has been recommended for lifting up your mental attitude and emotional states.
“According to a 2021 study by Molecules, a peer-reviewed journal of chemistry, gold nanoparticles may “accelerate wound healing mechanisms” through several mechanisms, such as antioxidant activity. Another study cites gold nanoparticles to increase blood circulation and provide antiseptic properties.”

Similar to Swedish Massage, but with firm pressure and slow strokes deep tissue massage is used to break up scar tissue and break down muscle adhesions. This technique focuses on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and joints).
The term “deep tissue” is often misused to identify a massage that is performed with sustained deep pressure. Deep tissue massage is a separate category of massage therapy, used to treat particular musculoskeletal disorders and complaints and employs a dedicated set of techniques and strokes to achieve a measure of relief. It should not be confused with a “deep pressure” massage, which is performed with sustained strong, occasionally intense pressure throughout an entire full-body session. Deep tissue massage is applied to both the superficial and deep layers of muscles, fascia , and other structures.
