Thai Oil

Thai oils are a type of essential oil blend that is commonly used in traditional Thai massage. These oils are made from a combination of natural plant extracts, such as lemongrass, eucalyptus, lavender, and peppermint, and are used to enhance the massage experience and provide a variety of physical and mental health benefits.

Thai oils are typically applied to the skin during a massage, either directly or mixed with a carrier oil such as coconut or sesame oil. The oils are absorbed into the skin and provide a variety of therapeutic benefits, such as relieving pain and tension, reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation.

Different Thai oils may have different properties and benefits, depending on the plants and extracts used in their formulation. For example, lemongrass oil is often used for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, while eucalyptus oil is used for its ability to soothe sore muscles and promote deep breathing.
