Full Body Hot Stone Massage And 5 Great Benefits For Our Body

The Great Benefits of Hot Stone Massage for Your Body

What is Hot Stone Massage?

The hot stone massage is a massage therapy that uses heated smooth stones to massage the body. The heat and weight of the stone warm and relaxes the muscles, allowing the massage therapist to apply deeper pressure without causing discomfort.

With the principle of heating the body with different temperatures, hot stone massage helps the body’s tissues to expand, reducing muscle tension or pressure on the nerves causing stress and fatigue naturally.

With each stone, there will be different temperatures, placed corresponding to the acupuncture points, which have the effect of heating the body, helping people relax and comfortable.

What type of stone is used in massage? Usually, people use basalt, a black or gray volcanic rock that retains heat well and does not cause damage to the skin. Basalt comes in many different sizes and shapes, which can be suitable for different body areas. Basalt stones are heated in boiling water or in a stone warmer, to a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees Celsius, before being used for massage.

How Hot Stone Massage Differs from a Regular Massage

Hot stone massage goes beyond the typical pressure-based techniques. It uniquely combines:

• Thermal therapy through heated stones, delivering a deeper, more soothing relaxation experience.

• Targeted stimulation of key acupressure points, helping to restore inner energy balance.

• The use of aromatic herbal oils, often applied alongside the stones, to enhance therapeutic effects and overall well-being.

Why is hot stone massage so popular?

That is because of the significant effects and benefits that it brings.

More and more people are increasingly choosing hot stone body massage therapy in spas for beauty care as well as relaxation and health therapy because of its great benefits.

The benefit of hot stone massage will help you:

• Relieve muscle tension and pain: The heat of the stone helps increase blood flow to the area being massaged, relieves muscle spasms, and increases muscle flexibility.
• Relieve stress and anxiety: The hot stone massage affects psychological balance, relieving stress, tension, and fatigue.
• Sleep better and deeper, reduce insomnia symptoms: The leading cause of insomnia is that the acupuncture points inside the body are not released, the blood stagnates, and the circulation is blocked. At that time, the hot stone massage will help your muscles relax, the body is more refreshed, healthier and easier to fall asleep, bringing a better and deeper sleep.
• Strengthens resistance – reduces autoimmune diseases: Regular hot stone massage helps improve immune system health naturally, and may reduce some chronic diseases related to the nervous and muscular systems, such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Support weight loss and improve skin: Using hot stones in a full body massage also helps make the skin smoother and brighter. Thanks to the hot temperature of the stone, it will dissolve excess fat tissue and safely excreted through sweat, so it also has the effect of losing weight and regaining a slim waist for women.
