Instructions:

Soak - Immerse your compress in  a bowl of water to start opening the herbs. Bring a pot of water to boil.

Steam - Place compresses in a steamer basket or colander over boiling water. Cover & steam for 15-20 minutes.

Enjoy - Remove compress & place on a dark towel - press to squeeze out excess water. Be careful – it’s hot! Apply to any areas of pain - if too hot use a washcloth to protect your hands until it cools. Herbs are best absorbed when applied directly to the skin.

Re-use - Repeat the process as many times as needed to address muscle pain, cramping, soreness, aches, etc.

Freeze - Store your compresses in the freezer to preserve them between uses. They’re good for up to 6 hours of total use or until they’re no longer fragrant.
