Hot Stone Reflexology

Service Description

Hot stone reflexology is a specialized type of reflexology that combines the principles of traditional reflexology with the use of heated stones. In this therapy, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific points of the feet, hands, or ears, which correspond to various organs and systems in the body. The heat from the stones penetrates deep into the muscles, enhancing the therapeutic effects of the reflexology treatment. Benefits Enhanced Relaxation: The heat from the stones promotes deep relaxation, helping to relieve stress and tension. Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow and circulation, promoting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues and aiding in detoxification. Pain Relief: Alleviates pain and discomfort, particularly in the feet and hands, by relaxing muscles and reducing inflammation. Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Promotes a sense of well-being and tranquillity, reducing stress and anxiety levels. Improved Sleep: Helps improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Detoxification: Encourages the removal of toxins from the body through enhanced circulation and lymphatic drainage. Boosted Immune Function: Supports the immune system by promoting overall relaxation and reducing stress, which can weaken immune response. Enhanced Mood: Increases the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good hormones, improving mood and emotional well-being. How it works During a hot stone reflexology session, the therapist uses heated stones, typically basalt stones, which retain heat well. The stones are placed on specific reflex points on the feet, hands, or ears, corresponding to different organs and body systems. The therapist may also use the stones to massage these areas, applying gentle pressure and using various reflexology techniques. The heat from the stones helps to relax the muscles, allowing for deeper pressure and more effective treatment.
