Hot Stone Massage

A hot stone massage is a specialty massage that involves the application of smooth, volcanically-derived basalt stones to specific areas on the body to promote circulation, relaxation, release tight muscles, and open up meridians (energy pathways). It is a soothing, deeply relaxing form of therapy which releases muscle tension faster than a classic Swedish massage alone.

Benefits

• Relaxation: Soothing warmth melts away stress, tension and knots. 

• Basalt stone contains an iron-magnesium silicate called polycrystalline olivine, which acts as a natural muscle relaxant and when combined with heat responds similar to an Epsom salt bath.

• Increases Circulation: Vasodilation increases metabolism, blood and lymphatic circulation.

• Detoxification: Increased lymph flow encourages waste removal by driving toxins to the surface of the skin while ensuring optimal oxygen and nutrient uptake by the cells within the body tissue.

• Re-Charges & Balances: Magnetic energy of basalt stones connects and balances the flow of energy within the meridians of the body.
