Benefits of Hot Stones

The heat from the stones Causes vasodilatation which in turn increases the blood vessels, which in turn increases the blood flow around the body. Increasing the blood flow and enabling the blood to pump more efficiently will ensure that the whole body will benefit immediately and totally. Waste products will be flushed out and internal organs cleansed. Everything will be boosted and on ‘full flow’.

The increase in blood flow  increases circulation. Increased circulation is fantastic for the body. It means that everything is being fully supplied with all the blood it needs for optimum operation. The organs are pumping, the skin is flushing, the body is cleansing and processing.

Optimal blood flow leads to our metabolism increasing and improves, the rate at which the body processes foods and toxins, and burns energy, is also improved.

There is an Increase in cell metabolism with organ metabolism becoming more efficient, the rate at which the body manufactures good chemicals such as hormones becomes more efficient or more balanced. This is a huge benefit of thermotherapy y. Total balance can be achieved simply by balancing the body’s exposure to heat and cold.

There will also be an Increase in lymph function. As the body is heated the blood pumps around the system and the tiny movements of the blood vessels increase the function of the lymph system – the body’s waste-disposal system. This leads to increased internal cleansing and elimination.​During and after the massage  the nervous system relaxes through the heat slowing down the conversation  between the nerves and the muscles and so everything goes into deep relaxation and reduced response times. When relaxed we move a lot more slowly. Heat relaxes the muscle response.
