The smooth flat volcanic basalt stones are immersed in water and heated in an electric heating device until they attain a certain temperature. The stones may be placed along the full body at specific areas on the back, the legs, in the palms of the hand, or between the toes. Hot stone treatments are ideal for those who have muscle tension but prefer a lighter form of therapy. The heat relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist to work the muscles without using deep pressure. The warmth of the stones will improve circulation and calms the nervous system. Everyone has their own comfort range. Be sure to speak up if they are too hot for you

With Organic Essential Oils
Aromatherapy literally means the therapeutic use of aromas (aroma-therapy). Essential oils can be administered in a number of ways including by directly inhalating, steam inhalation, with full bath, in a vaporizer or diffuser, applied to the skin as a warm or cool compress and in a full body massage. They are diluted into a pure essence base oil such as grapeseed and then massaged into the skin. 100% pure therapy grade oils are best. These pure essence oils are the true life-giving elements of the plants containing all of their naturally occuring substances within each molecule. It takes approximately 20 minutes for them to penetrate and completely absorb into the tissues, fluids and bloodstream. They are then carried by the bloodstream to the organ or systems where they are needed to enhance their natural functions and promote health and wellness. Pure Essence oils used in aromatherapy have the ability to strengthen our immunities and stimulate our own natural healing abilities. They help with fighting harmful bacteria. Some oils have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and disinfectant properties, among other health benefits, which make them an added benefit to any medicine cabinet. Techniques used include Swedish full body massage as well as focus on acupressure points. The treatment will renew every cell in the full body, refresh the mind and rejuvinate the spirit!

Different Aromas How Aroma
Works
Aromas travel from the nose to the olfactory (limbic) system of the brain which has the ability to unlock memories and emotions, affect mood and the ability to concentrate, and regulate feelings. The limbic system is directly connected to parts of the brain which controls the rate at which the heart beats, breathing, memory, stress and imbalances of the hormones. It is the only sensory pathway that is in direct contact with the brain.

Raindrop Technique is a simple protocol of dropping essential oils like drops of rain from about six inches above the body, along the spine. We then use reflexology and massage techniques to bring the body into balance. This is a must for people who are suffering from neck and back discomfort, mental fatigue, migraines and a host of other physical and emotional imbalances. The oils will continue to work in the body for about 5-7 days afterthe treatment, with continued balancing taking place during this time.Â

Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.
