HOT STONE MASSAGE
What is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot Stone Massage is a truly relaxing massage treatment, using hot basalt stones and an application of carrier oils blended with essential oils, which are applied to the body, giving a deep massage and creating a sensation of warmth, comfort and relaxation.
The heat from these stones are calming, soothing, and therapeutic - helping to detox the body and relax muscles and the nervous system. The stones used are smooth, volcanic basalt that retain their heat on the body for as long as possible.
What are the benefits of Hot Stone Massage?
Deep relaxation, the warmth relaxes both physically and mentally. The heat from the stones is transferred to the body and muscle tension is reduced, relieving mental and physical fatigue.
Circulation is improved and muscles have an increased blood supply, improving function. Toxins and waste are eliminated more quickly. The warmth can relieve pain in muscles and joints.
The use of the therapist’s hands with massage, in conjunction with the stones also helps to produce a more intensive experience.
ORIGIN OF THE BASALT STONES
Before purchasing the natural basalt stones, I thoroughly researched the available sources and found this supplier to be the best in quality and in service http://www.hotstonehut.com/.
Hot Stone Hut massage stone sets are assembled using certified volcanic basalt stones, sourced directly from nature.
These stones are not tumbled or mechanically polished, they come directly from the Columbia River basalt flow in Western Oregon.
Another fantastic and unique product, that I recommend are massage stones from Stone Eagle
