THE POWER OF MASSAGE STONES

During the massage, the stones are heated to 130-145 degrees and placed on specific parts of the body. Usually, the stones are smooth and flat, made of basalt, a volcanic rock that retains heat. Sometimes cold stones are used during stone massage to soothe the skin. Stones can be placed along the spine, on the abdomen, chest, face, palms, feet and their fingers. Hot stone massage is considered an alternative medicine, which is why it is becoming a popular complementary treatment for the disease.

However, you need to be careful when choosing the stones yourself. It is very important to use natural basalt stones, because they improve the effect of the massage due to their earthly origin. When choosing stones, it is important to have different sizes, but palm-sized ones are best. With them, you can not only affect important points, but also make various massaging movements. Small pebbles are also needed, suitable for massaging the toes or other smaller areas of the body. So one of the best options is to buy a set of stones. If you are new to hot stone massage, a medium-sized set with 45 stones of different sizes is a great solution. If you are a professional, a large set of stones will be indispensable.
