Herbal remedies, plants & objects from Thailand and Japan
Through my continued journeys to Thailand, I've been learning about different ways of tending to the body and working with plants, as the two are deeply intertwined.
Each visit brings new inspirations, plants, relationships and stories that continue to shape my practice.
This collection brings together Japanese folk remedies, herbs gathered from the land here at home, and botanical preparations inspired by what I've encountered and learned in Thailand.
Some are made by my own hands, using the methods I've come to know through my own practice. Others come from the hands of my teacher, alongside everyday objects I've carried home along the way.
A small meeting of two lands, and a reflection of an ongoing journey of learning.
What's inside:
Bainiku Ekisu 梅肉エキス
25g
A traditional Japanese folk preparation made from ume (Japanese plums), slowly cooked down into a deeply concentrated, dark and intensely sour extract.
Made slow by my own hands this past summer. I don't usually offer bainiku ekisu in this small size, making this a little opportunity to experience a preparation I hold particularly close to my own practice.
Herbal Compress
1 small compress
A bundle filled with dried, wild-foraged Japanese plants. Made to be gently steamed and applied to the body. A little gathering of plants from the Japanese landscape, brought together as a common Thai practice of tending to the body.
Plai Body Oil
60ml | Sesame oil base
Plai is a much-loved plant in Thai traditional herbal practices, used to warm aching muscles. The scent of plai brings me straight back to the herbal saunas in Thailand.
Mangosteen & Wild Turmeric Balm
30ml
Two plants that became part of my curiosity during my time in Thailand. Mangosteen known for its purifying qualities and wild turmeric for its soothing qualities.
An exploration of tropical botanicals brought together in a balm.
Tiger Balm
15ml
For aches and stiffness, soothing insect bites.
Each box will contain one of two varieties:
Homprang’s Balm - Made by my teacher in Thailand
or
Monkey Holding White Peach Balm - Common “tiger balm” brand found in Thailand with nice packaging design
Five Centipedes Herbal Throat Lozenges
1 pack
A familiar sight in Thailand, these distinctive herbal throat lozenges are recognised by their five-centipede emblem. With roots in Chinese herbal medicine, they have become a well-known part of everyday Thai household remedies. Despite their name, the formula contains no centipedes!
Phang PrathipCandle
1 small candle in a terracotta holder, used in Buddhist offerings or home entrances to call in good fortune.
Booklet
With a little write-up for each text
