Hot Stone Massage: Where Warmth Meets Wellbeing
Hot stone massage combines the therapeutic power of heated basalt stones with expert massage techniques to create an exceptionally relaxing and healing treatment. The stones' natural warmth penetrates deeply into muscle tissue, enhancing the massage's effectiveness while allowing for gentler pressure.
This unique therapy helps reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote deep relaxation through the combination of skilled touch and carefully controlled thermal energy. The stones can be both placed on the body and used as massage tools, creating a multi-layered therapeutic experience that soothes both body and mind.

Hot Stone Massage
What sets hot stone massage apart from other types of massage therapy is the use of smooth, flat stones.
The stones used are basalt, chosen because they retain heat well. They vary in size, from larger stones that are placed on the back to stones that are small enough to fit between the toes.
The stones are immersed in water and heated to an optimum temperature range. They are then placed on specific points of the body and, occasionally, on the face. The stones themselves are used to massage the body. Combined with a fragrant aromatherapy oil blend, the stones glide easily over the body and provide a wonderful massage that is warm and silky smooth to the recipient.
Basalt’s iron rich composition means that the stones act like a magnet, detoxifying the body and drawing out stress and negativity. The stones are effective in stimulating the lymphatic system, boosting the immune system and realigning the body’s energy and balance via the meridians and chakras. These are the invisible energy pathways that allow chi (energy) to flow through the body thus restoring equilibrium.
