Cold Herbal Compresses

Whether you’re trying to cool yourself down during a heatwave, or take the tension out of a tough day, cold herbal compresses are fast and easy herbal remedies. They can increase skin tone, soothe tired eyes, and add a natural glow to your face. And taking the time to lie down and enjoy this herbal remedy does wonders for your state of mind. Calming, soothing and revitalizing for your head, neck, chest or feet, cold compresses are a fast way to give your body the tender loving care it needs to take a break and cool down.

Compresses—or fomentations, as they’re often called in herbalism—are clean linens or washcloths soaked in hot or cold herbal infusions to help accelerate your body’s natural healing process. Used hot or cold, depending on your situation, they can bring energy to the compressed area of the body and help the body focus on healing.

Chamomile with Lavender: This herbal combo is the perfect dose of total calm when you need it most. Fragrant, beneficial and relaxing, it’s a great tension-buster. We recommend using this on your forehead, neck, or chest to help you slow down. Consider supplementing with a couple of drops of lavender essential oil.

Peppermint: Refresh your spirit with the minty goodness of peppermint. Our peppermint is high in essential oils, making it as aromatic and uplifting as it is mildly tingly. This one feels great on tired feet after a long run or hike.

Green Tea Peppermint: Reignite your summer sparkle with the mildly invigorating boost of green tea and the minty refreshment of peppermint. Try it on your face or tired eyes.
