This mini course teaches you a skill that will make your friends or clients very happy this winter! Entry Requirements: No previous qualification is required.

More about Compresses: Hand made herbal compresses are steam heated to release the aroma and properties of the herbs, such as Eucalyptus and lime leaf, frankincense resin and borneo camphor.

A very tonifying and restoring treatment, adaptable for everyone, relieves muscular tension, deep bruising or torn muscles, good for respiratory ailments, water retention, fatigue, fertility, digestion, post natal, you name it!
