Why Use Poultices in Spa Treatments?

A warm botanical bundle that melds calming & invigorating dry herbs and flowers, all wrapped around mineral-rich rice to bathe your guest in lasting comfort. Warm poultices help ease the body and mind, making them an excellent prelude or complement to massage. The aromatic steam, warm pressure, and rhythmic movement of the poultice creates a multisensory experience.
