The hot stones used in hot stone therapy are specially heated and placed on the skin or along the body’s meridians. These stones, believed to carry the earth’s natural energy, work on both local and systemic levels. Through deep thermal conduction, the heat continuously penetrates into the body and, via reflex points, stimulates and regulates muscles and joints. During the massage, the essential ingredients of the massage oil are diffused into the subcutaneous tissue, allowing the body to fully absorb them and maximize the therapeutic effects of the oils.
