Herbal Steam Cave

For many years people have visited herbal steam facilities in country temples in Thailand in order to relax and detoxify.

Drawing on this tradition, Tamarind Springs has built a unique steam room into a natural rock cave – the experience has been described as ‘primal’ or ‘entering a dragon’s cave’.

Most of our programs include at least 1.5 hours use of the steam cave and rock plunge pools.

Guests unused to a tropical climate often feel that the steam will be oppressive. To the contrary, it is an amazingly energizing and refreshing experience: The herbal mix stimulates and invigorates, improves blood circulation, helps to rid the body of toxins, and clears respiratory passages, while soothing aching muscles and rejuvenating the skin. You will find yourself a lot more relaxed - ready to get the greatest benefit from your massage treatment.

When not to steam

Use of the herbal steam is not advisable if you have a fever, an inflammatory disease or an injury, or if you have been drinking alcohol. Persons with blood pressure disorders, hypertension, abnormal heart function, and skin ailments should as well refrain from using the steam room.

For precautionary reasons we do not advise the use of the steam room during pregnancy.
