HOT STONE MASSAGE

Description

The practice of using hot stones for therapeutic purposes has been around for centuries. It’s thought to have originated thousands of years ago from Ayuverda, the ancient Indian medical system that takes a natural and holistic approach to health.

It is a type of massage in which the therapist places smooth, hot stones on your back. These stones provide heat therapy to the muscles, which can help reduce tension and pain. The stones used in hot stone massage are typically basalt, volcanic rock that is usually high in iron, which allows them to absorb heat.
