Ya Mong Sud Pai is the yellow Thai balm, and the Thai name says what is in it: sud pai means pure plai, the golden rhizome Zingiber montanum that Thai massage therapists reach for after heavy training or a long day on your feet. It has a warm, gingery aroma and is one of the most recognisable products in the Thai balm cabinet. This is the 90 g tin; a pea-sized amount covers a palm-sized area of skin.

Benefits

• Made with plai (Zingiber montanum), the classic Thai sports-massage herb
• Traditionally used after physical exertion and sports overload
• Soothing on tired, overworked muscles
• Helps relieve the feeling of fatigue after exercise
• Warm, gingery aroma; a little goes a long way

How to Use

External use only. Rub a small amount (no more than a pea-sized amount for a palm-sized area) into the area 1–3 times a day. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose and mouth, which can cause a harmless but unpleasant burning sensation; remove from the skin with vegetable oil or a nourishing cream. Store away from direct sunlight at 15–30°C.

Ingredients

Plai rhizome (Zingiber montanum) in a traditional Thai balm base.
