Hydrotherapy and the application of heat to the body to produce therapeutic effects can be traced to ancient times. Adding stones to reflexology – or to manicures and pedicures - adds a medium for the application of heat and/or cold to the body. The combination of the heat from the stones, the essential oils, and the soothing massage action of stones and oils produces a deep and penetrating state of relaxation and well being – both for you and your clients.
