Aromatherapy Hot Stone Massage


A variation on the classic massage utilizing hydrotherapy effects induced through heated smooth, flat basalt stones. This technique has its origins from ancient civilizations and tribal societies that have used it effectively for sore muscles and to induce a deep relaxation.

The stones are heated in water, placed strategically on the body and a single or pair of heated working stones is used to massage the each body part. Utilizing an emollient coconut oil base compounded with precious therapeutic grade essential oils, the warmth of the stones along with the gentle stimulation of massage will induce a deepen sense of relaxation and stimulate the circulation of energy and blood.

This is an excellent therapy for addressing backaches and pain, arthritic conditions, compromised circulation, stress reduction, insomnia and balances the emotional states. This is an excellent treatment for training athletes and geriatric age groups.
