This weekend I have been learning how to massage with hot stones!
Basalt stones are heated up and due to their high iron and magnesium content they retain heat for a long time and then slowly release it.
Massage using these stones is a deeply relaxing and releasing treatment and it is said that one stroke using a warm basalt stone is the same as four or five strokes using the hands alone. It is a full body treatment, lasting 90 minutes and can have benefits on a physical, mental and energetical level.
I have ordered a set of basalt stones and a heater, which should be arriving this week, so I shall soon be able to offer this lovely treatment to my lovely clients!
