Ginger Compress
This aids the body in dissolving hardened fats, revives stagnant energy, stimulates blood
circulation and warms and energises your body.
It is most commonly used on the lower back
to strengthen and relax the kidneys.
It relieves water retention, tired eyes,
swollen fingers and stiff, aching muscles.
Please note:
People with cancer shouldn't use this treatment.
