Hot Stone Massage, has been around for a long time in various forms, but recently it has become very well know in large western cities. It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage which uses warm and smooth volcanic stones as well as the therapist's hands. The stones are placed in a water bath at 150 degrees Fahrenheit and then placed on and under your body to let their warmth penetrate deeply. Different stones are held in the therapist's hands and used to massage the entire body. It's very calming, and people often go into a dreamlike state during the treatment. It's also believed that the stones revitalize the charkas by absorbing negative energy. The therapist might also leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, or in the palms of your hand, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body. In some cases variations of the basic method are used to treat specific conditions. This style of massage is becoming very popular in the Asheville area, where we have several excellent studios.
