Stone massage involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, giving a deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing
movement of a greater intensity.
In cases of muscular injury and inflammation, frozen, cool stones are used. This creates a type of
thermo therapeutic 'vascular gymnastics' in the circulatory system to help the body detoxify and heal. The warmer stones expand the blood vessels, pushing blood and unwanted waste materials through the body. This has a sedative effect on the nervous system. The cold stones cause the blood vessels to constrict, stimulating the nervous system and drawing blood and waste products along the body. This ensures that every cell in the body receives more oxygen and nutrients while at the same time waste material is removed more effectively through
and a corresponding increase in lymph flow.
It is quite an experience to feel the
deeply relaxing, penetrating heat from the basalt stones alternating
with the toning and refreshing cool stones. The use of extremes of temperature has long been scientifically and medically proven to be of benefit to the body.
The Ho Cold Stones also move with energy paths through the body in
order, to rebalance the mind, body, and spirit as one
.Enjoy! |
