Hot basalt stones massage

Hot stones massage uses smooth, heated basalt stones (volcanic rock) to relax muscles, reduce tensions and stress and promote relaxation. The benefits of this massage are the same as those of a traditional relaxing massage, except that the heat emitted by the stones enhances the feeling of deep relaxation. It is recommended and much appreciated, especially in winter when temperatures drop. In summer, however, it is replaced by a massage using gemstones, which can be cooled or at room temperature.

Gemstones massage: hot or cold

For thousands of years, treatments using gemstones have combined the power of gems with the art of massage to rebalance energies and bring about holistic healing. The stones used in this massage add a new dimension to the treatment, thanks to their virtues and vibrations. Depending on their properties, they emit a subtle energy that encourages the flow of energy to the Chakras (energy centres). The stones used here come in the form of pebbles, sticks, "mushrooms" and masks.
