Believed to have started in China, smooth, heated stones used for massage have been around for several thousand years. As massage therapist Amber Lynch describes, “A hot stone massage is a relaxing body treatment using flat, heated stones to ease deep into the muscle layer and erase tension held in the body while increasing circulation to the tissues.” While the idea of placing 140-degree volcanic stones on your body may freak you out, there’s frankly nothing to be afraid of. The entire experience is quite therapeutic and enjoyable.
To further illustrate how heat is a powerful tool for the body, dermatologist Ava Shambam explains that heat helps the blood vessels expand, thereby increasing blood supply delivering more oxygen to tissue and carting away waste, similar to cardio. Fluids and toxins are also able to move more efficiently through the lymph system for elimination. “Combining heat with massage increases lymph movement and blood flow temporarily, improving skin appearance in areas that are more stagnant,” Shambam adds.
Heat is also known to increase skin permeability. Meaning that it may support better absorption delivering topical actives in creams, lotions, or oils for patients who are experiencing dehydrated skin, have a dry skin type, or are suffering from a disrupted skin mantle1.
