Sea salt stones are typically used in massage therapy to relax muscles and improve circulation.
Using Sea Salt Stones
Estheticians use heated sea salt stones to provide a therapeutic massage experience. These stones are not used like regular massage tools, but rather in a specific way to maximize their benefits:
- Heating: The sea salt stones are first heated to a comfortable temperature. This warmth is key to their therapeutic effect.
- Placement: The heated stones are placed on various points of the body. This often includes:
- Legs
- Back
- Feet
- Gliding: After placement, the therapist gently glides the stones over the body. This gliding motion helps to:
- Heat the muscles
- Increase blood flow
- Release tension
This combination of heat and movement works together to provide a deep sense of relaxation and therapeutic benefit.
