Hot Stone Therapy(热石疗法)
Chinese hot stone therapy is an ancient practice using heated basalt stones and shaped Bian stones to improve internal organ function, boost digestion, and ease muscle pain.
How It Works
- Stone Heating: Stones are warmed in water until they reach a safe, soothing temperature between 110°F and 130°F (48°C to 60°C).
- Placement: Smooth, flat rocks are placed on key energy points, along the spine, or on the abdomen.
- Massage Techniques: Therapists use the warm stones like tools, gliding them with gentle pressure and long strokes over tight muscles.
Health Benefits
- Relieves Pain: Deep heat helps loosen stiff muscles and soothe aching joints.
- Improves Blood Flow: Warmth opens blood vessels to bring more oxygen to your tissues.
- Reduces Stress: The deep heat calms your mind and relaxes your whole body.
