About this product
Warm hands, a slow massage, a blend made with care at the end of a long week. Plai belongs in that kind of ritual: mild, smooth and quietly companionable.
It is distilled from the fresh rhizomes, or roots, of wildcrafted Zingiber cassumunar Roxb., a member of the ginger genus, in Central Thailand. With plai, terrain makes a tremendous difference, and in our experience the best plai is grown and distilled in Central Thailand. This one is mild and smooth aromatically, an easy companion in a blend.
In body and massage blends we like it alongside Kunzea, Helichrysum or German Chamomile.
