Hot Stone Massage
Brief History
A hot stone massage is the ultimate in massages. Countries from around the world such as India, China, Hawaii and Africa have used stone therapy since the beginning of time. The Egyptians left us many records of properties of stones as well as placing prized stones in their tombs. It is only quit recently that Western civilization has introduced hot stone therapy into spa therapies.Scientific research shows that stones and their ability to retain heat, relates to the theory of geomagnetism. The earth can be thought of as one giant magnet with two poles. The first magnets noticed, and used by humans were magnets of volcanic origin. When lava emerges from a volcano it cools gradually forming a stone. However, it is the iron content in the volcanic stone that will determine its magnetic power, as well as its ability to retaining heat for hot stone therapy.
