Heated stones are used to massage the body, providing a nurturing and
enhanced therapeutic effect. The application of heat not only increases the
feeling of well-being but also enables the therapist to work more deeply and
more effectively with chronic pain conditions. The warmer stones expand the
blood vessels, pushing blood and unwanted waste materials through the body. This has a sedative effect on the nervous system.
Cooling marble stones are used in cases of muscular injury and inflammation.
The cold stones cause the blood vessels to constrict, stimulating the
nervous system and drawing blood and waste products along the body. This
ensures that every cell in the body receives more oxygen and nutrients while
at the same time waste material is removed more effectively through the
corresponding increase in lymph flow.
The stones are smooth basalt stones with a high iron content, enabling them
to retain heat. The stones are applied at varying degrees of heat, onto an
oiled body, and the effect is similar to a combination of sauna and
massage,. The practitioner will massage with some stones and lay others on
the body at particular points - including in-between the toes!
