Welcome to 'Advance Hot Stone Therapy'
This is an ancient therapeutic treatment dating back thousands of years to the Arabic people of the Middle East who were the first to use heated stones for therapeutic and other purposes and passed their knowledge onto the Asian people. The Chinese medical doctors used stones called Bian stones as instruments heated and placed on acupressure points of the meridians before they invented acupuncture needles which replaced these stones. To this day the Chinese still use heated stones incorporated into treatments including the treatment of deep muscular aches and pains and their famous reflexology. Other countries and cultures world wide incorporate stones for healing. The ancient Hawaiian Kahunas who go back hundreds of years used stones incorporated into massage, this was called Lomi Ili Ili, meaning flat pebble for massage. They passed their knowledge on from generation to generation and still use the stones in healing and spiritual ceremonies. Other countries throughout the world have used and still use heated Basalt stones for therapeutic and ceremonial purposes.
Igneous stones of a volcanic origin contain basalt, feromagnesium and other rich minerals that are thermostatically conductive – they absorb, retain and release heat. This is known as Thermotherapy. They have been individually hand shaped and polished, no harsh tumbling has been used, in order to maintain the quality of these stones.
