Download or read book Hot Stone and Gem Massage written by Dagmar Fleck and published by Healing Arts Press. This book was released on 2008-11-18 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fully illustrated guide to the ancient Hawaiian art of massage with hot stones • Includes illustrated instructions for each area of the body • Explains how to combine hot stone massage with gemstone chakra treatment, detailing the specific healing powers of 54 gemstones • Recommends which base oils and essential oils enhance the effects of hot stone massage Since ancient times, the people of Hawaii have used hot stones for both physical and spiritual healing. Using basalt stones--fine-grained, high-density volcanic rocks with an exceptional ability to store heat--hot stone massage not only dispels tensions and soothes the soul but also enhances lymph flow, removes toxins, and fortifies the immune system. The treatment causes blood vessels to dilate, leading to improved circulation and consequently improved oxygen, nutrient, antibody, and protective cell supply to the area of the body under the stones and is extremely effective for joint problems, back pain, and sore muscles. Beyond the strictly physical benefits, the massage also stimulates the meridians and chakras, gently dissipating energetic blockages. This book provides step-by-step, fully illustrated instructions for treatments for each area of the body. The authors then include details on the specific healing powers of 54 gemstones, showing how to further enhance the benefits of hot stone massage with gemstone chakra treatment. For instance, in facial massage, working with amethyst can alleviate headaches and help heal skin blemishes. They also describe the therapeutic benefits of several base and essential oils and recommend specific combinations for hot stone massage. The power of the stones, the warmth of the treatment, and the massage itself unite in this holistic therapy to provide deep relaxation and calm that recharges the body and soul.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hot stone massage is a therapeutic massage that incorporates heated stones to enhance the massage experience. Flat, heated stones, usually made of basalt-a volcanic rock famous for its great heat holding properties-are placed on certain parts of the body to beautify them. In addition, a massage therapist might use the stones to apply pressure to specific areas of the body. The therapist can apply deeper pressure to such regions without experiencing any discomfort because the heat from the stones relaxes their muscles. The stones' increased temperature can also lead to improved blood circulation and an overall feeling of well-being. Hot stone massage is commonly used to treat a range of health issues, including easing muscle tension, lowering stress and anxiety, improving circulation, and helping with sleep. When heat and massage are applied together, it can have a relaxing and healing effect on the body. Hot stone massage might not be the right choice for everyone. If you have any preexisting medical disorders, such as heart problems or skin sensitivities, it is best to consult a doctor before trying this type of massage. In addition, a licensed and experienced massage therapist is essential for the proper administration of hot stone massage to ensure the client's safety and maximum benefit.
