​​

Helping to improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage

 

Reducing muscle stiffness, pain and fatigue

 

Promoting relaxation and relieving stress

 

However, using hot stones has the additional benefits of: 

​

Helping to relieve symptoms of some autoimmune conditions such as Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis

​

Stimulating metabolism

​​

Improving feelings of emotional balance and wellbeing

​

Balancing the physical, spiritual and psychological aspects of the body which helps to restore and balance the body's energy flow
