Hot stones have their first recorded use over 2,000 in years ago in China, where they were believed to improve the function of internal organs. Stones and crystals have been used for years in many cultures to improve health, through wearing them, laying them on the body or carrying them as amulets for protection.

 

Nowadays, smooth basalt stones are heated in water and moved over the body as part of the massage. The heat gets the muscle fibres to relax more quickly, and also caused blood vessels to expand, which increases blood flow and therefore oxygen to the area. Hot stone massage can be particularly helpful for people with very stiff muscles, or those who just want a bit of relaxation and pampering.
