Ginger is a wonderfully warming treatment to soothe your aching back or rumbling tummy. As a tea, ginger is used to aid and soothe digestion. As a compress, ginger stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation in an area of stagnation. You may experience stagnation as pain, inflammation, swelling, stiffness, or mucus and fat accumulation. Ginger penetrates the tissues to loosen, dissolve, and disperse stagnation, leaving the tissues cleansed and nourished with fresh blood, which softens and revitalizes the body.
The ginger compress is an external & topical application of fresh, hot ginger water to specific areas of the body. In the spa, we apply a compress soaked in the ginger water and cover it with a hot pack. After 20 minutes, the pack and compresses are removed and we proceed with massage.
If you have not tried a ginger compress before, add it to your next massage. It’s only $10 and the effects are truly amazing!

The Purpose and the Way of Action of a Ginger Compress:
We should never forget however that these stagnations and deposits originated in our way of living. Primarily in our way of eating, especially by using too much meat, cheese, butter, sugar, eggs and milk. Everyone can benefit from the effect of a ginger compress, but to produce a lasting improvement we must also change our way of eating. However, even when we have been eating natural balanced wholesome food for years, not necessarily will all our hardenings, deposits, and stagnations caused by our past living habits disappeared. Their disappearance can be achieved by:
1) Activity (work, exercise): this is the best way to increase our circulation in general.
2) Controlling overeating and chewing your foods thoroughly.
3) Ginger compresses: this may be one of the best ways to stimulate circulation at certain stagnated or tens locations.
4) Massage!
