Boketto x Ayurveda

Pasha Kat Yuen offers unique and effective well-being therapies at Boketto. A feature of many of her bodywork offerings includes Herbal Compresses. Herbal compresses are used to help soothe injuries and inflammation and allow the body to focus on healing. They work by helping to bring blood to the area or directing it away, while the addition of herbs can help to enhance healing.

Pasha also makes her compresses herself and makes them available for purchase to use at home.

How To Herbal Compress

Use around the head, neck, chest, and upper back for cold, and flu symptoms, muscle pain; and on the abdomen to treat digestion + cramps. Here’s how to prep and care for your Herbal Compress

1. Soak
   Immerse your compress in a bowl of water to start opening the herbs. As you do this, bring a pot of water to boil.
2. Steam
   Place compresses in a steamer basket or colander over boiling water. Cover + steam for 15-20 minutes.
3. Apply
   Remove the compress and place it on a dark towel. Press to squeeze out excess water (careful! it’s hot!) and apply to areas of pain— if too hot use a washcloth to protect your hands. Note: Herbs are best absorbed when applied directly to the skin.
4. Freeze
   You can use your compress multiple times. Pop your compresses in the freezer to store them between uses. They're good for up to 6 hours of total use or until they're no longer fragrant.

Meet Rasananda Ayurveda

Pasha is not only a Boketto-beloved practitioner, her talents extend to Rasananda Ayurveda a tight collection of traditional healing formulas utilizing the medical systems of South and Southeast Asia. These systems are rooted in medical knowledge from before the time of the Buddha. That knowledge went on to inspire medical systems like Thai medicine, Ayurveda and Tibetan medicine, etc. Sourced from organic, sustainable, and domestic sources whenever possible, Pasha's herbal products are handcrafted in Richmond, Virginia.
