Hot stone massage – a therapy using hot volcanic stones
„I love to pamper myself, so going for a massage
“It makes me feel better straight away."
What is it?
A massage with heated volcanic stones is one of the most ancient methods of relaxation and maintaining good health. The basalt stones used in the therapy contain the five natural elements – earth, metal, air, water and fire – which give them particularly beneficial properties. Their porous structure allows them to retain their temperature for a longer period of time, thereby transferring their heat and natural energy to the human body.
These stones originate mainly from Indonesia, Peru, Argentina and the Hawaiian Islands, where volcanic activity was once observed. Their oval shape is natural and they are not further processed, as it is believed that stones smoothed by water and wind have absorbed some of the natural energy. The stones can be placed on various points on the body, or glided over the skin with slow, gentle massage movements.
