Who we are
Our history
Thai Herbal Comfort was founded by Pemika Wirunphatthana, an expert in Traditional Hot Herbal Compresses. When she realized that busy schedules and limited mobility keep many people from experiencing this centuries-old Thai therapy, Pemika set out to deliver it at home through the Thai Herbal Comfort Massage Set. Packed with certified Thai botanicals, the compress warms quickly; applied to sore or tired areas, it releases gentle heat and herbal aromas that relax muscles and eases joint stiffness, making ancient wellness part of your everyday routine.

THAI HERBAL COMFORT – TRADITION AND INNOVATION
Thai Herbal Compress (see Pic No. 1) contains Thai herbs, they are heated with steam vand used by rhythmically dabbing the area to be treated; thanks to the steam, the herbs release natural anti-inflammatory beneficial properties on the skin without the use of drugs.
The product is disposable and can no longer be used after two hours. Thanks to the study carried out by Eng. Pemika Wirunphatthana, and her family’s tradition of producing Thai Herbal Compress for more than 50 years, a process has been perfected that allows Thai Herbal Comfort products to last 24 months by heating them in a microwave (at 600 watts for two minutes or 800 watts for one minute) see Pic. No.2. Once heated, Thai Herbal Comfort products release an intense amount of heat that stabilises with body temperature, providing a lasting thermal effect so that the properties of the herbs are absorbed slowly, providing benefit and relief in the treatment of inflammation. Obviously, the effectiveness of Thai Herbal Comfort products depends on the environmental conditions in which they are used.

Thai Herbal Comfort Set and its herbs
Inspired by traditional Thai therapeutic practices, the Thai Herbal Comfort Set is designed to be applied warm. Once heated, it is placed on the body to offer a sensory experience that supports muscle relaxation, mental release, and a general sense of well-being.
The combination of natural ingredients is selected to release, through heat, intense aromas and beneficial properties traditionally appreciated in Eastern wellness culture.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa)
Properties: Anti-inflammatory, warming, soothing.
Benefits: Used in traditional treatments to support joint and muscle mobility, turmeric is known for its ability to stimulate circulation and create a deep warming sensation on the skin.
Star Anise (Illicium verum)
Properties: Aromatic, calming.
Benefits: With its warm, spicy scent, star anise is traditionally used to create a relaxing atmosphere and promote physical and mental calm.
Borneo Camphor (Dryobalanops aromatica)
Properties: Toning, refreshing, analgesic.
Benefits: Commonly found in traditional balms, camphor is valued for its stimulating effect and balsamic scent. It contributes to a localized feeling of relief, especially when heat is applied to tense or tired areas.
Citronella (Cymbopogon)
Properties: Refreshing, purifying, relaxing.
Benefits: Its fresh, citrusy fragrance helps clear the mind and promote a feeling of lightness. When used warm, it supports deep relaxation of body and mind.
Mangosteen Peel (Garcinia mangostana)
Properties: Antioxidant, soothing (according to Asian tradition).
Benefits: In Asia, dried mangosteen peel is often used in steam treatments and herbal compresses. It adds a delicate, fruity note to the blend, enhancing the aromatic experience of the set.
Rice (Oryza sativa)
Properties: Retains and distributes heat evenly.
Benefits: Rice is used for its natural ability to hold and gradually release heat during use. This helps maintain a consistent temperature while allowing the herbs’ aromas to be released slowly. It also provides body and softness to the compress, making it pleasant in contact with the skin.
Phlai (Zingiber montanum)
Properties: Anti-inflammatory, muscle-soothing, warming.
Benefits: Traditionally used in Thai medicine, Phlai helps relieve muscular tension, swelling,
and bruises. Its natural warming effect makes it ideal in massage balms and compresses,
especially after physical strain or during body treatments focused on relaxation and recovery.
