Hot Stone Therapy is an age-old healing treatment. Hot basalt stones penetrate muscles and balance the nervous system like no other treatments.
In a session, Hot Stones are heated and aromatherapy, like lavender, orange or spearmint, are diffused in the room. Then stones are placed along the chakras, face, and feet. Whirls of radiating heat move along the muscles.
The heat helps increase circulation and boost the immune system - even more than traditional Swedish massage. It also operates at a deeper level than deep tissue because it affects the autonomic nervous system - Reducing anxiety!
