Hot stone massage is a traditional technique that consists of applying stones with different temperatures to the skin with the aim of activating vital energy and also relieving physical or emotional disorders.
This type of massage, also called Geothermal Therapy, has its origins in ancient oriental massage techniques and is based on the knowledge of the energy centers or points of the body through which energy flows. According to these disciplines, if we suffer from any illness or discomfort, it is because energy does not circulate through our body correctly, and this is usually caused by the blockage or malfunction of one of these energy centers.
For this reason, hot stone massage is a therapeutic technique that consists of applying stones of volcanic origin, coming from the earth, from nature, which will act by activating the energy points and making the energy flow, at the same time relieving our discomfort.
