DIY Natural Cold Compresses

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Six Senses Thai Herbal Poultice is a Homemade Winter Remedy

— January 21, 2014 — Lifestyle
Winter continues to settle its cold claws in the back of the Northern Hemisphere and those residing in that part of the world could benefit from such homemade compresses as the Six Senses Thai Herbal Poultice. Instead of stocking up on pills, rubs and everything else in between to kick (or perhaps avoid) that inevitable cold, it provides a relatively easy do-it-yourself remedy for even the most stubborn afflictions.

Poultices are soft, moist substances that work in a medicinal manner to draw out infection and speed up the healing process when applied directly to the skin. The Six Senses Thai Herbal Poultice does just that, but in a way native to Thailand. It was first created in Thailand's Ayutthaya period for wounded soldiers returning from war. Refinery29 writes, "The recipe below is designed to increase blood flow and circulation, relax tense muscles, and alleviate pain and inflammation."
Trend Themes
1. Natural Remedies - The trend of DIY natural compresses taps into the growing interest in alternative healing methods and the desire for natural remedies.
2. Holistic Health - The trend of using poultices aligns with the holistic health movement that focuses on treating the body as a whole and addressing the root causes of illness.
3. DIY Wellness - The trend of making homemade remedies reflects the rising popularity of DIY wellness, empowering individuals to take control of their health and well-being.
Industry Implications
1. Natural Health Products - The DIY natural compress trend presents opportunities for companies in the natural health products industry to develop and market natural remedies and healing solutions.
2. Herbal Medicine - The use of Thai herbal poultices opens up possibilities for the herbal medicine industry to create innovative products and expand its offerings in the market.
3. Wellness Tourism - The DIY poultice trend can inspire the wellness tourism industry to incorporate traditional healing practices, such as Thai herbal poultices, into their offerings, providing unique experiences to travelers.
