Hot stone massage therapy has been used all over the world throughout the ages in one form or another. Many shamans, medicine people and spiritual healers used stones and crystals in their healing ceremonies. Each colour and type of stone reflects an energy and a purpose.

Basalt stones are used in the salon and care is taken in the selection of the correct stones, with consideration being given to the texture, weight, size and shape of the stone. The Basalt stones are dense volcanic stones which hold their heat for a long time and release it slowly. The stones are placed on various key points on the body as well as being used with aromatic oils on the skin and muscles.

The use of heat retaining stones, combined with massage creates a synergy all of its own. The warm stones expand the blood vessels, pushing blood and unwanted waste materials through the body. This has a sedative effect on the nervous system. The treatment ensures that every cell in the body receives more oxygen and nutrients, thus increasing the feeling of wellbeing while providing a nurturing and enhanced therapeutic effect.

A Hot stones massage encourages the muscles to release quicker than traditional massage and is particularly beneficial for muscular aches and pains, insomnia, back pain and stress.

This is truly a beautiful, relaxing experience.
