An herbal compress is a topical preparation, usually in the form of a cloth that has been soaked in a hot herbal infusion (herbal tea) then wrung out & placed on the part of the body requiring care. They are used to soften the tissues, reduce inflammation, or reduce pain. Their purpose will determine which herbs are used in the infusion.
