Why Basalt?

Basalt is a kind of mineral of which the color is gray. It is the most recommended type of volcanic stone to use in hot stone therapy, because of the non-porous, smooth texture, combined with its high heat-retaining qualities. Basalt retains the heat for up to 45 minutes in the larger stones. Their high ferruginous components will improve blood flow and relax your muscles. This makes them the preferred choice for therapists.

Benefits and effects of Hot Stone Therapy:
Increases circulation, facilitating maximum blood for optimum body functioning.
Vaso-dilation of blood vessels causes an increase in blood flow around the body; providing the important fuel to keep the body functioning at total efficiency.
Increases cell metabolism; thereby increasing the rate at which the body processes nutrients and toxins.
Increase lymphatic function, thereby increasing detoxification, cleansing, and elimination.
Deep relaxation of muscles, helping to alleviate stress and tension.
Creates a feeling of balance and harmony.
Gives the client a deeper and longer-lasting sense of relaxation.

Contra-indications and Cautions:
The Contra-indications with hot stone therapy are much the same as with traditional manual massage, except that there is the additional consideration of the heat. Therefore, be cautious with clients with high blood pressure and circulatory disorders, heart conditions & or pregnancy. Hot stone therapy treatment would naturally be inappropriate for clients with skin that is intolerant to heat, or very sensitive skin/skin prone to prickly heat/clients with nerve damage/loss of tactile sensation.
Preparation for Hot Stone Therapy:
Follow the Manufacturer’s instructions on heating the stones prior to treatment(most heaters take 30—45 minutes to reach the desired temperature)
The stones should be within the temperature range of 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit (47-~50 degrees centigrade)
Cleansing of the Stones:
After each client, rinse all the stones thoroughly under cold running water. Then wash with warm soapy water. Spray the stones with an antibacterial spray.
At the end of the day soak stones in water and sea salt for 20 minutes.
Dry the stones and re-oil with them with a natural oil such as almond oil.
Cleanse and store stones separately in a small box or container
Helpful Hints When Using the Stones
Always use stones slightly wet and well oiled (But not dripping)
Make sure the client’s skin is well lubricated with the selected oil with an aromatic formula for the client’s skin type
Turn the stones often during use so the warmth is diffused equally
Avoid clicking the stones together.
To remove stones from the heater avoid using a metal spoon (the noise will distract your client from relaxation)
Always rinse off stones and your hands in between clients.
