The addition of warm stones to a reflexology treatment helps to take the benefits to a whole new level.
The use of warm and cool stones have been used for their therapeutic properties for centuries in ceremonies and massages, many cultures have used them for physical and spiritual healing. The stones used are basalt stones, naturally formed from cooled lava and tumbled into smooth shapes that retain their heat well when warmed.
The application of heat increases blood circulation, increases lymph function, relaxes muscle fibres and calms the peripheral nervous system.
The stones are heated in a special stone heating bag that doesn't use water, this is better suited to working in your home as it is safer and less messy that other methods of heating such as a water bath. An hour long treatment which incorporates an ankle/lower leg massage and reflexology with traditional thumb/finger walking, acupressure points and warm stones.
