What is it?

Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that helps you relax and relieve tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout your body. The stones used are called basalts and are usually black volcanic stones or otherwise known as lava.

How often should we do it?

You can do it at any time you want to. There is no limit.

The hot stone massage complements the classic oil massage, so you tend to choose:

  • When you need a more intense relaxation experience
  • As a gift

How does it work?

During the hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body. This form of massage lies in the synchronization of many therapeutic massage techniques. The movements alternate rhythmically with the stones, offering relaxation and pleasure. The stones have the geomagnetic properties of copper and iron. Thus, when heated, they emit energy and vibrations. Heat in boiling water at 60-140 C.

It's benefits

All massages fall under the umbrella of alternative medicine and have become a popular complementary treatment for many ailments. Here are some benefits of hot stone massage:

Heat has long been used to ease muscle tension and pain. It helps increase blood flow to the affected area. It may also reduce muscle spasms and increase flexibility and range of motion. Cold therapy helps relieve inflammation. Depending on your symptoms, alternating hot and cold stones during your massage may be helpful.

A study showed that a ten-minute massage improved cardiovascular responses such as stroke volume. A 1997 study reported that 15-minute chair massage at work significantly reduced employee stress compared to a 15-minute non-massage break.

A 2006 study showed that massage may be an alternative to sleeping pills for adults with insomnia. Research has shown that back massage helps promote relaxation and sleep. 

Hot stone massage can relieve painful conditions such as fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes extensive, chronic pain. 

Hot stone massage may relieve painful conditions such as fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes widespread, chronic pain. According to a 2002 study, people with fibromyalgia who received a 30-minute massage slept longer, had fewer trigger points, and had decreased levels of substance P (a substance involved in transmitting pain signals) than people with the condition who received relaxation therapy.

Massage may give your immune system a boost. According to a 2010 study, a single session of Swedish massage therapy had a positive and acute impact on immunity. Blood samples taken before and after the massage showed a decrease in arginine-vasopressin, a hormone that helps regulate blood pressure and water retention.
