Get Back into Balance with Japanese Hot Stone Therapy
Japanese Hot Stone Therapy uses smooth Basalt stones to balance your energy through relaxation. When you’re looking for the ultimate massage that will leave you feeling light and refreshed again, this is the one to choose. This is a therapeutic massage that uses a gentle touch. When you’re not up to a deep treatment after a hard week at the office requiring painful kneading you’ll want hot stone therapy instead.
In some cases you will be given light massaging strokes that will help the stones release toxins and unblock the energy channels in your body. In other cases the therapist won’t even need to touch you except to position the stones.
History of Hot Stone Therapy
This therapy was used between 3000 to 5000 years ago. Even Native Indians in the southwest were using hot stones as a form of wellness treatments years back. The Romans also used hot stones in their ancient baths. There is nothing more relaxing and balancing available and even years ago stones were recognized for their healing powers.
The origins of the stones
The Japanese stones used in this therapy come from the hot mineral springs in Japan that have served as an oasis of healing power across the country for years. These springs contain volcanic stones that are known to absorb heat and then retain it. These types of hot stones are called Basalt stones and you have to have them placed on you to understand why they are so special. There’s just something about these types of rocks that gives you back your inner sense of peace.
