The herbs are dried and ground and mixed together and commonly include Ginger, Lemon grass, Eucalyptus, Camphor, Tumeric. Each of the herbs is classifieid according to the 3 major "tastes": "Hot"- which penetrates the skin to effect the muscles and tendons , "Sour" which have a microcidial and bacteriacidial effect, cleaning the skin, and "Aromatic" having a particular aroma or effect on the bronchial system. Apart from being a luxurious experience, Luk Pra Kob is very effective, being used in village hospitals in Thailand to treat numerous conditions.
