Thai people have used medicinal herbs for the treatment of illnesses and diseases since at least the 13th century.Knowledge of traditional medicine has been passed down through the generations.

Introduction of Western medicine during the 18th century led to a decline in its use and teaching, in particular in urban areas.

It was only in the late 1970s that, thanks to the recommendations of the WHO (the World Health Organization), it began to be taught again in the country's medical schools.

The theory behind it (which is based on Buddhism) is that the body is composed of four different elements: water, wind, earth, and fire. The body is healthy when the four are in equilibrium-and unhealthy when there is some kind of imbalance. Thai herbal medicine tries to restore this balance.considered a holistic medicine: factors such as the seasons or where we live are taken into account when prescribing treatments.

Many remedies are combined with Thai massage sessions. they are a mixture of traditional massage and yoga-like stretching.

Dandruff: Many dandruff shampoos are pretty toxic, so try something natural. Kefir, for instance, is great for attacking the fungus that causes dandruff. Just rub it over your head, leave on for a few minutes, then rinse out.

Sunburn: To protect yourself from sunburn, you need the sap of the leaves of the aloe vera plant. Just rub it onto the affected area for quick relief.

Acne: Lime juice has an antibiotic effect, and so is very effective in inhibiting the growth of those bacteria which cause acne and spots. Rub it onto your skin a couple of times a day and you will soon see the difference.
