History Of Hot Stone Therapy
The European cultures used hot rocks to heat their saunas, and applied hot stones to tired and sore muscles to alleviate tension and muscle pain. Native Americans also used hot rocks in their traditional sweat lodge ceremony, large rocks were used to heat the sweat lodge while smaller hot rocks were passed around to place on specific areas of tension.The Chinese history dating back four thousand years to the Shang Dynasty also shows the use of hot stones to relieve stress, tension and pain. In Oriental Medicine hot stones are used in conjunction with the Meridian channels to promote a better flow of energy around the body.
In Ayurvedic medicine in India, the hot stones were used in conjunction with their knowledge of the Marma points.
The Japanese used hot stones in Anma, the oldest form of East Asian Massage. The Japanese hot stone therapy techniques create similar effects to moxibustion, in that heat penetrates and stimulates the tsubo, or acupoints.
The Hawaiians also used lava rocks in their Lomi-Lomi. Rough stones were used to exfoliate after a massage, while smooth lava rocks were either placed on the body in ti-leaves or used to massage. At times two stones were tapped together against the body to allow deep tissue vibrational healing. The lava stone was used as a symbol for healing and protection.

What Happens During A Hot Stone Massage
By Chris Turley
There's no better way to spend your free time than to indulge in a session of hot stone therapy to take all the stress away from your mind and body and to leave you renewed and refreshed than ever.If you have never tried this relaxing and soothing experience, not only are you missing a lot of things but you may also be wondering what these stones have got to do with the massage.
Hot stone therapy is a variation of the classic massage that incorporates heated stones to release muscular tension and stress. Basalt stones which are rich in iron are usually utilized because they are efficient in retaining heat.
In preparation for a hot stone therapy, the therapist sanitizes the stones of different sizes and shapes, and then heats them by immersing in 120 and 150 degree water.
Once the client arrives, the therapist gives time for the client to get ready, lie on the massage table face down and relax for a few minutes before the session starts.
The therapist begins by applying massage oil on the client's body to allow for the stones to easily glide over the muscles
. Stones will then be placed in key points of the body that are known to be energy centers such as on the back, in the palms of the hands and in between toes.
Traditional Swedish massage strokes are incorporated during the therapy while the stones are placed on the body. There are times when the therapist will also use the stones in applying pressure on the muscles.
The therapist always touches the stones first to make sure it's not too hot to scald the client's body. If there's anything that the client is uncomfortable with, he or she can speak up because the therapist welcomes any concerns and makes the necessary arrangements to ease the client's apprehension.
After the entire process of placing stones and massage the back part of the body, the client is asked to turn over and the sequence will be repeated.
During the therapy, the heat of the stones regulates the circulation of energy as well as work wonders in relaxing the muscles. This also promote deep muscle and tissue relaxation.
Aside from that, this therapy is also known to be an effective way to release toxins that are clogged in the body. This is why a client is advised to drink plenty of water after a session to flush out these toxins.

Hot Stone Massage
Selection for Hot Stone MassageStones for Hot Stone Massage are selected according to their composition, size, texture and shape.
The stones for hot stone massage are igneous or metamorphic and come in a variety of colors depending on the mineral make up of the stone: green, black, brown, blue, and gray.
The shape of a stone is important for particular body placements, such as a cylindrical stone for the neck and oval stone for the palm. The texture is important as you don't want to scratch a client.
Being careful when choosing stones ones that have sharp edges or any sharp cracks may make your client very unhappy.
Most natural stones have curves and crevasses and as long as they are smoothed they are excellent to use in massage.
A slightly rough stone can be used for exfoliation your clients skin if client wishes to have it done. Always asks your client before exfoliation with oil and softly.
Heating the Stones
When you heat basalt stones or other stones for doing hot stone massages always make sure they are heated in water as there is always a possibility of them cracking. If you heat them in water, the water will contain any damage that may occur due to the stone breaking. This is highly unlikely , but you still need to be aware of the possibility.
Never heat the stones in a microwave or in a dry oven.
Have a bowl with cool water that you can place stones in that you may feel is too warm for your client.

Tips For Clients
Before a Hot Stone Treatment
Asking the therapist to describe the hot stone sessionWill you please describe the hot stone massage in detail?
Are the stones and heater(s) cleaned thoroughly before each and every use?
How will the massage compare with a regular massage?
What products and oils do you use with the hot stone massage?
Next, you will want to ask how the stones are sanitized. Unfortunately, this can vary as greatly as the massages.
Therapists keep their stones in the same water from client to client, and do not wash the stones between clients.
There are spa sanitizers made for this purpose, which, left in during multiple hot stone sessions, helps with kill all germs and bacteria. Also some therapists wipe each stone off with rubbing alcohol before putting back into the heaters.
Some therapists use special oils or products for their hot stone massages. This can add to the experience greatly. The best rule is if you couldn't eat it, don't use it in a hot stone massage.
If essential oils are used, they should be selected with care.
As a client if the hot stones are to Hot for you tell your therapists.
I do ask my clients question and my clients ask questions to me. Remember you and your therapist are a team.
Natural Migraine Relief Treatments
Migraines Health Center
When it comes to seeking migraine headache relief it can pay off to be a little creative and think outside of the box. One of my favorite natural migraine treatments is Hot Stone Massage Therapy. It's painless and calming. Hot Stone Massage therapy can relax the extreme muscle tension that comes with migraines without the pain or discomfort that other forms of massage sometimes entail. It's a very non-invasive and soothing therapy that can give you the kind of migraine headache relief you've been searching for as it relieves many common migraine symptoms.Hot Stone Massage Therapy uses polished basalt stones that are water heated in an electric roaster or crock pot. The heated stones are rubbed in massage oil and then some stones are placed strategically to rest on different pressure points of the body. Other stones are used by the massage practitioner to glide over your muscles while in the palms of their hands giving you a full body massage. The stones are fantastic at melting away severe muscle tension without pain or discomfort. This is really one of the most relaxing and soothing migraine headache relief treatments around.
The Basalt stones that are used in this treatment can carry their heat anywhere from 25- minutes to even longer, which means that every stone that is placed on your pressure points or pain areas literally melt away the discomfort with the constant and soothing heat they generate for so long.

Hot Volcanic Stone Massage Therapy
This ancient healing treatment of warm volcanic stones helps balance and ground your senses
These black volcanic stones have a range of various sizes as illustrated above. They should adapt to the different areas of the body. They have been subjected to a process that has left them perfectly polished and has confered them the opportune physiognomy: the round ones are suitable for the hands and the arms; those lengthened, for the area of the neck; and the finest, for the back and the scapulas.The deepest and durable benefit is obtained thanks to the colour of the dark stones of volcanic origin. These are then heated and pressed onto the skin in the aching areas. Whosoever undergoes this massage will notice a sensation of a "pleasant pain." The heat, slowly released by the stones, relaxes the muscles.

The combination can be very energizing.Using light colored stones for the cold therapy increases the power of the therapy because lighter colors retain cooler temperatures longer.

Hot Stone Therapy - Description and Benefits
The benefits for the body
When hot stone therapy was first introduced to the public a few years ago, it was a novelty. The stones used were all heated, and there were specific ways to use them. Now, though, the use of hot stones in massage has been expanded, which make them much more adaptable to the needs of the person getting the massage.
Stones used for hot stone therapy can be large or small, smooth or rough, dark or light. Large stones can be used to treat large areas of the body, and are great for some of the more sweeping strokes of Swedish massage. Smaller stones can get into smaller spaces. Smooth stones glide effortlessly, but rougher ones are useful too, because the friction they produce "wakes up" and warms up tissue, and can even produce some exfoliation. And pointed stones are wonderful for treating very specific areas
Very dark stones heat up faster and hold heat longer. But they can sometimes get too hot, or release their heat too fast. Stones that are not quite so dark - gray, for instance - may not get as hot, but they also won't cool down so fast. And if cold is needed, there are always light-colored and white stones.
People who've had hot stone therapy with only hot stones usually rave about it.

- Hot stone massage is different than the better known traditional full body massage or a therapeutic massage in that it requires a more gentle touch and in some cases the therapist may not even touch you, other then to position the hot stones.

Outside My World Of Hot Stone Therapy
My other lenses on squidoo you might find of interest
As much as I love doing Hot Stone Therapy, its not my only interest. Here you will see some of my other interests, that I have created squidoo lenses about.
- What Is Crystal Therapy
- What is crystal Therapy and How can it benefit you? I am a Master Instructor Crystal Awareness Institute. I have worked with crystals most of my life. After taking my Master Instructor course with the Crystal Awareness Institute I knew that teaching other and helping people was going to be my goal in life.
- Hillary Stagg
- Hilary believed in and practiced lucid dreaming and developed a way of dancing with the Music in his dreams, a way of exploring and composing music in his "sleep" that became the core of his compositions. As he experimented, Hilary developed a gentle, yet powerful, melodic style that gave new meaning to soothing and relaxing music. He began performing regularly, refining his technique and confidence.
- Dowsing For Beginners
- How does dowsing work? No one truly understands completely how dowsing works. I believe Moses and ancient priests clearly understood completely how it worked, but, they never told such ideas to the masses, to have done so, would have meant a loss of prestige and power for them.
- Pine Needle Baskets
- Pine needle baskets are always a surprise when done. It is really hard to explain the connection I have with these baskets. Some of it is tradition and some of it is a sense of accomplishment. I have found something that is useful and beautiful that I can use my hands to create. I love going out into the forest to collect the pine needles, this makes such a connection. I wish I could explain it better.
- Energy Healing Techniques
- This lens has been written and arranged to give you the fastest access to energy healing techniques.
Each section discusses all the crystal healing with completes instructions for their use. Here you are going to find the 8 different energy healing techniques.
Just remember if you are under doctors care, you should continue to see your doctor.
Crystal energy work is to help the body balance and put more energy into the cell to help with repair.

Testimonials
Read what clients have to say about hot stone therapy
After being in a serious motorcycle accident a year and a half ago, I am still left with chronic inflammation and back pain. Nara's- hot stone massage therapy gives me relief not only physically, but her healing touch is felt on a spiritual level as well. She makes you feel comfortable and I am grateful for the relief I experience after the hot stone massage and try to go on a regular basis for my continued healing.Nancy - San Jose, CA.
I would like to add after having Nara work on me for sometime now I don't always have to walk with my walker. She has helped me to have more balance when I walk and when I first came to her I was not sure this would help at all. I sleep better at night and have a lot less pain.
Thank you Nara for your work and the lovely hot stone massage. Donna from San Jose, Ca.
I have a back that a Chiropractic doctor can't get the bones to move. I have being going to Nara for a year or so and when she gets done I can set up and trun and hear and feel my back going back into place. I enjoy it so much , Thank you Nara and your stones for the help. Darlene , San Jose, ca.
