At Choojai Clinic, we offer Pao Ya, or Traditional Thai Fire Therapy, a unique and ancient method that harnesses the healing power of heat combined with herbal medicine. This therapy is deeply rooted in the principles of Traditional Thai Medicine, focusing on balancing the body’s elements—Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire—through the controlled application of heat.
Pao Ya involves applying a heated herbal poultice directly to specific areas of the body. The herbs used in this therapy are carefully selected for their warming and healing properties, such as turmeric, lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime peel. The heat from the poultice penetrates deeply into the tissues, promoting circulation, alleviating pain, and reducing inflammation. This treatment is particularly effective for conditions such as muscle stiffness, joint pain, digestive disorders, and respiratory issues.
The process begins with a thorough assessment by our practitioners to determine the areas of the body that require treatment. Once identified, the heated herbal poultice is applied, and the warmth helps to relax the muscles, ease tension, and restore the natural flow of energy within the body. This therapy not only provides immediate relief but also supports long-term healing by addressing the root causes of discomfort.
Pao Ya is a holistic treatment that enhances overall well-being, making it a valuable component of our Traditional Thai Medicine offerings at Choojai Clinic.
