In cases of muscular injury and inflammation, frozen, cooling marble stones
are used. This creates a type of thermotherapeutic 'vascular gymnastics' in
the circulatory system to help the body detoxify and heal. The warmer stones
expand the blood vessels, pushing blood and unwanted waste materials through
the body. This has a sedative effect on the nervous system. The cold stones
cause the blood vessels to constrict, stimulating the nervous system and
drawing blood and waste products along the body. This ensures that every
cell in the body receives more oxygen and nutrients while at the same time
waste material is removed more effectively through the corresponding
increase in lymph flow. Not unlike changing the old oil and filter in your
car for a newer filter with clean oil—a service for the body.
It is quite an experience to feel the deeply relaxing, penetrating heat from
the basalt stones alternating with the toning and refreshing coolness of the
marble stones. The use of extremes of temperature has long been
scientifically and medically proven to be of benefit to the body. Those who
wish to relax and tone their muscles with a minimum of effort see this in
the use of ice packs for muscle trauma and the use of saunas.
Stone massage makes you feel deeply relaxed, allowing you to let go of all
the stress that is held within your body. It is really an amazing experience
to offer to the ones you love!
