Our secret to effectively heating your massage stones
Hot stone massage is a very popular massage since it uses the heat of the stones to diffuse it over the body in the locations where they are installed. Stones are traditionally used for relaxation, but are also used to overcome tension, aches and muscle contractures. They can be used during each treatment on the target area using the edge of the stones to drain the muscles in depth. Despite its popularity, hot stone massage has a major drawback: its heating! In fact, many therapists use various tools such as slow cookers, cauldrons, casserole dishes and other devices requiring the use of water. However, the latter have certain disadvantages such as the difficulty in obtaining an adequate and uniform temperature, the presence of metallic noises when extracting the stones from the water and the need to wipe the stones before use. Our secret: the towel warmer! THE towel warmer warms more than towels. It can also be used to maintain an appropriate temperature for your eye pads, healing stones, herbal boxes and anything else that needs to be heated and applied to the skin. Just take them out of the towel warmer a few minutes before the start of the treatment and that’s it! So you no longer need to dip your hands or unwieldy tongs into hot water to retrieve your stones, blot them dry and worry about noise. Reduced time between full-hand massage and stone application and less loss of contact with your client's skin! Good care!

This is why we offer you here a short summary of the different types of baths that you can offer to your clients, whether in a clinic or as complementary care at home. First of all, basic notions of hydrotherapy Hydrotherapy, a big word to define the benefits of water, is versatile and can relax as well as tone the body. Here are some basic rules to follow for a successful treatment: The water temperature should ideally be between 20C and 39C C A temperature of 20C helps firm the skin and activate blood circulatione A temperature of around 25C tones the muscles and influences the lymphatic systeme A temperature between 37C and 39C to promote relaxation and muscle relaxation and dilate pores to eliminate toxinses Prioritize a stress-free environment, with pleasant music and adequate light Immersing the body as much as possible allows the body to reach an optimal level of calm and satisfaction. The ideal duration of a bath is around 15 minutes If the bath lasts less than 10 minutes, the benefits of the bath could be reduced, because the body will not have fully welcomed the beneficial effects of the bath. If the bath continues beyond 20 minutes, the body will no longer receive any benefits and will instead want to acclimatize to its environment, which will minimize the desired effect. Sea salt: great stress reliever The main benefit of sea salt melted in a hot water bath is to relax the muscles after sustained or excessive effort, by neutralizing the effects of lactic acid. Thus, the immersed body will find itself relaxed and less painful. Sea salt also helps: Relax the nervous system Eliminate fatigue and stress Fight against aches and pains Prepare the tissue for a deep massage Recover after a treatment or sporting activity Exfoliate and revitalize the skin Preserve the balance of the skin Disinfect and decongest Peat mud: Mineral treatment with many virtues A favorite of many spas and beauty and wellness clinics, peat mud has the extraordinary property of slowing the effects of time on the body thanks to the numerous minerals it contains.

Whether bubble baths, bath salts, soaps or shampoos, the pleasant scent of these can enhance the moments of relaxation that we treat ourselves to thanks to their numerous properties. However, for use in the bath, it is advisable to dilute the essential oil drops in a dispersant, such as salt or odorless bubble bath, since these are not soluble in water. You will thus be able to take full advantage of their benefits. In addition, it is important to learn about the oils you can put in a bath, the required quantity and their properties. So, with a little documentation and research, you will certainly be able to find oils and blends that will meet your needs, whether they are energizing, balancing, relaxing or calming.
