Healing Benefits of a Himalayan Salt Stone Massage

• Improved Sense of Well Being

Himalayan Salt Stone Massage™ is an innovative healing technique using warm salt crystal stones to ground and balance the body’s electromagnetic field, central nervous system and meridians. Salt crystals from an ancient primal sea beneath the Himalayan Mountains are hand-carved into massage stones that gently soothe away an accumulation of stress, tension and pollutants, while bringing the mind, body and spirit, into balance.

The Himalayas are the world’s most tranquil, serene, peaceful and undeveloped region; therefore the salt crystals mined from the foothills of the Himalayas are still pure and untouched by pollution. Tremendous pressure and heat refines the structure of the salt crystals and makes them translucent. When mining the salt at the Himalayas, use of dynamite is strictly prohibited to preserve the structure of the crystals. Mining by hand is painstaking but essential. All Himalayan salt stone massage salt is hand picked with care to keep the valuable crystal structure intact.

This salt ball can be warmed to help relieve stress or can be chilled for a relaxing cooling effect. Packed with minerals such as calcium, chloride, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium – essential for your health and general well-being.

How To Clean Himalayan Salt Massage Stones?

If you have gotten your hands on the trending salt massage stones, you might be wondering how to use them.

The first thing is to prepare them before the first massage. For this, rinse the stones with warm water, pat them dry and then apply massage oil to the stones. Let them sit so that the oil gets absorbed. Now, the stones are ready to use.

After you are done with the massage regime, clean the stones properly before storing them. Boil them for 5-10 minutes in water and ideally use a disinfectant with it.

How To Heat Himalayan Salt Massage Stones?

Before using the stones for massage, you need to heat them. Doing this makes sure not to cause any damage to the stones. The best option for heating the massage stones is through a stone heater.

But, you can do the same in boiling water in a crock-pot. Just ensure that the heating is set at a medium setting. Arrange the stones properly at the base of the pot so that the heating is carried out evenly.

The ideal water for this is seawater but tap water with sea salt added to it can also be used.

The ideal temperature of the salt stone should be warm which is nearly hot and comfortable to handle.

Using the Himalayan stones for a hot stone massage is no rocket science. Therapists heat the stones and use warm stones as an extension of their hands.

During massage therapy, several Himalayan salt massage stones or balls are placed at particular trigger points of your body. These stones relax the points and allow the energy to flow smoothly. Some of these points are the joints, the spinal cord, and the palm of your hands.

Swedish massage techniques are used to apply pressure with hot stones to different areas of the body.

Some of the salt balls or stones used are slightly pointed at the tips which help in applying pressure in the trouble areas.

The stone massage not only relaxes aching and stressed muscles but also helps in balancing the body’s electromagnetic field. These stones can align the energy pathways of the body and balance the nervous system because of their natural resonant frequency.

Benefits of Himalayan salt massages include: Exfoliates and nourishes the skin gently, leaving you soft and smooth. Reduces inflammation and relieves pain such as muscle weakness, headaches, joint pain and fatigue. Generates negative ions, which are shown to help create a sense of peace and deep relaxation.
