I am currently studying aromatherapy, one question on my essay is "How many types of compress are there?" But the only ones i can find are hot, cold and heating. Is this it or am I missing something? Thankyou.

A compress is a very basic form of treatment which entails the folding of a piece of material, bandage or small towel, into a pad by wetting it and applying it to the areas to be treated.
HOT : Hot compresses are used to treat old injuries, muscle pain, rheumatic pain, menstrual cramps, boils, and toothache.
COLD: Cold compresses are used for new sprains, bruising, swelling and inflammation, fever and headaches.
I think your question is as simple as you think, you could go on to explain how to make a hot and cold compress as well as what oils you would use for your choice of application.
Cheers.
