Hot Stone Therapy

Service Description

Hot stone therapy involves the application of smooth, heated stones onto specific points of the body, often along meridian pathways, which are central to TCM. These stones, usually basalt, retain heat well and are chosen for their ability to efficiently transfer warmth to the body. In the context of TCM, hot stone therapy is aligned with the principles of promoting the flow of vital energy, known as "qi," and maintaining the balance of Yin and Yang forces within the body. By placing heated stones on strategic points, it is believed that the therapy can help to alleviate stagnation, encourage blood circulation, and foster relaxation. This, in turn, is thought to support the body's natural healing processes and enhance overall well-being. Hot stone therapy can be employed to address various concerns, including muscular tension, stress, fatigue, and even specific health issues that align with TCM concepts. The combination of heat and the placement of stones on specific points is believed to facilitate a harmonious flow of energy, contributing to a sense of balance and restoration.
