Hot stone therapy is a specialist massage that uses smooth, flat, heated basalt stones that are positioned along your spine, in the palms of your hands, along your legs and between the toes. Typically from river beds, basalt stones are used for massage as they have a rich iron content that retains heat. Cold marble stones are often used in the treatment to help aid with detoxing and healing the body.
The combination of hot and cold stones encourages your body to detox and heal through increasing your lymphatic flow and encouraging your body to remove waste products.

Some other benefits of hot stone massage include: Relaxing tense muscles, aiding pain relief, alleviating depression, promoting sleep, improving circulation.
Hot stone therapy helps people who suffer from: Stress, back pain, muscular pain, fibromyalgia, insomnia, depression or anxiety and poor circulation.
