Hot Stones: massages with hot stones

Since time immemorial, Hawaiians have used this type of stone therapy in the area of physical and spiritual healing. The islanders developed a very effective massage, using the smooth volcanic stones as a tool.

The massage with heated stones loosens muscles and their tensions, it promotes the blood circulation and the heat turnover in a pleasant way and calms down. The Hot Stone Massage uses deliberately gentle, tolerable stimuli. As a result, cold stones are generally not used, as very strong counterpoises are avoided.

The book is ideal for getting started with the Hot Stone Massage and provides helpful hints for a successful practice.
