Benefits Of Himalayan Salt Stone Massage

As the spring weather finally begins to blossom, a Himalayan salt stone massage can you’re your body to shed its winter “coat” and burst into the new, fresh season. Himalayan salt stones contain 84 naturally occurring minerals and elements, which are absorbed through the skin during the massage. Though they have long been used for health and healing in Eastern traditions, modern research is just now beginning to recognize and articulate the therapeutic benefits.

Similar to a hot stone massage, the massage therapist uses the Himalayan salt stones in conjunction with traditional massage and manual therapy techniques to provide a complete, customized treatment. While hot stones are significantly heated and therefore best applied in the winter months, the Himalayan salt stones are gently warmed and feel wonderful during the spring and summer time.

The stones emit negative ions when warmed, delivering a myriad of health benefits from higher mental alertness to protection against germs in the air. They lightly exfoliate the skin and increase the relaxing effect of the massage, helping to relieve anxiety while promoting deeper, more rejuvenating sleep at night. As the minerals are absorbed through the skin, a physiological change in the body occurs, promoting balanced blood sugar levels, lowering blood pressure while improving circulation, and boosting bone health while decreasing muscle cramps and spasms. The properties of the salt support a healthy respiratory system while helping to clear the sinuses, making this a great treatment for someone who experiences spring time allergies.

A Himalayan salt stone massage can also zero out the body’s electromagnetic field. The stone’s neutral structure and natural resonant frequency help to realign energy pathways and restore balance to the central nervous system.

Try something new this spring, and experience a Himalayan salt stone massage for whole body, mind, and spirit benefit.
