There’s nothing quite like a good massage — but a massage with Himalayan Salt Stones takes the experience to the next level! We offer Himalayan Salt Stones as an add-on with all of our massages as a way to increase the benefits of your treatment.

What are Himalayan Salt Stones?

Himalayan salt stones are made from compressed Himalayan salt crystals that have been carved for use in massage. Pink Himalayan salt is hand-extracted from mines near the Himalayan region of Pakistan; it goes through a natural harvesting process that allows it to retain minerals and trace elements that are not significantly present in traditional table salt. Pink Himalayan salt includes calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron and sodium.

The top five benefits of Himalayan Salt Stone massage therapy:

1. Improves circulation

   Heat from Himalayan Salt Stones combined with proper massage technique can improve blood flow and increase circulation to muscles which will reduce pain and inflammation, as well as promote healing.

2. Relieves stress and anxiety

   The pressure and heat from Himalayan Salt Stone massage help release endorphins that lower stress and put you in a better mood.

3. Promotes sleep

   Studies have shown that hot stone massage results in more restful, restorative sleep and can ease insomnia and help you fall asleep faster.

4. Lightly exfoliates the skin

   The subtle texture of Himalayan Salt Stones provide a natural, manual exfoliation during the massage process.

5. May help relieve symptoms of chronic skin or pain conditions

   Thanks to the unique minerals and anti-microbial properties found in Himalayan Salt, massage with these stones can help relieve the symptoms of fibromyalgia and reduce the inflammation caused by eczema and psoriasis.
