What is stone therapy?

And one of these methods that will allow you to truly relax and forget about all your worries and important matters is stone therapy. What is it - a newfangled hobby or a truly miraculous method that helps solve many problems?

Stone therapy is a special method of therapeutic massage with special stones, which has recently become a very popular method for complete relaxation and treatment of many diseases. The method involves the effect of heat from heated stones on specific active points of the body, which contributes to the influx of energy, improving blood circulation and metabolism.

Typically, black smooth volcanic stones heated to a certain temperature are used for stone massage, which have the ability to conduct and retain heat well.

Methods of stone therapy

The specifics of performing this procedure in combination with the heating temperatures of the stones divide the technique of performing stone therapy into several methods:

• using only hot stones;
• applying only cold stones;
• Contrast stone therapy, in which warm and cold stones are used alternately or simultaneously.

Advantages and benefits of stone therapy

Hot stone massage is considered a special procedure that has no analogues and has its own advantages:

• improves blood circulation – when using warm and cold stones simultaneously, blood vessels dilate and constrict. Blood begins to move faster through the vessels, oxygen saturation of the body accelerates, and a surge of strength and energy is felt;
• lymph drainage is accelerated – this makes it possible to get rid of edema and swelling;
• there is no general warming, which is inherent, for example, in visiting a steam room or sauna. This makes it possible to reduce the load on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, which allows the elderly to safely use the procedure;
• helps with muscle spasms;
• accelerates the weight loss process – accelerates metabolism and elimination of toxins;
• the procedure soothes, relieves tension, and fights insomnia;
• Rapid alternation of hot and cold stones helps get rid of cellulite.
