Hot Stones
Hot Stones
Heat can increase the body's ability to heal. Circulation is rapidly changed with the practice of hot stones. If circulation is increased then so too is nutrition and the way that every cell in the body responds to the experience. When you increase the blood flow through the skin detoxification is increased, supporting the liver, bowel and kidneys and the lymphatic and circulation systems. This promotes healing within the body.
The effect of short term heat on the body is as follows:
- Improved circulation of blood and lymphatic systems
- Improved oxygenation of blood around the body
- Improve the rate at which the body processes foods and toxins
- Relaxes the muscles enabling the practitioner to get into the muscles with less discomfort
- The body becomes deeply relaxed, healing takes place more efficiently and the practitioner is able to work more deeply.
The hot stones are used during reflexology and indian head massage treatments.
