The use of stones and gemstones
for healing purposes dates back
thousands of years.Verbal and written
history confirmsthat the Chinese
used heated stones overtwo thousand
years ago as a meansof improving the
function of internal organs. Stones
were used for healing work in
NativeAmerica, South America, Africa,
Europe, Egypt & India. These traditions
included laying stones in patterns on the
body, carrying or wearingstones for health
and protection, using stones in the
diagnosis and treatment of disease and ceremonial
uses, such as in sweat lodges and medicine wheels.
The healing practices of "curanderas" and other
women caregivers often included dealing with
disease as well as pregnancy and childbirth. These Native folk healers used heated stones to diminish the discomfort of menstruation, and the application of cold stones to slow bleeding after labor. Some sources cite instances of cultures in which women believed that holding stones during labor added to their strength and endurance.

Benefits and Indications

As practicing therapists, we are all familiar with the plethora of the potential physical, body-mind, and energetic influences of massage on our clients. There is an ever-growing body of research that confirms the positive effects of massage on the cardiovascular, lymphatic, lymphoid (immune), integumentary (including fascia), musculoskeletal, endocrine, nervous and digestive systems.

Hydrotherapy and the application of heat and cold to the body to produce therapeutic effects can be traced to ancient times. Incorporating stones into a massage protocol adds a medium for the application of heat and/or cold to the body. The client experiences the added benefit of heat without the therapist having to provide a separate treatment from their normal massage protocol.

Contrasting heat and cold causes the blood vessels to alternate between dilation and constriction. The overall effect is a dramatic increase in circulation. The stones can be used for a full body massage or for spot work in certain areas of the body. The combination of the heat from the stones, the essential oils, and the energetic effects of both the stones and the oils, produces a deep and penetrating state of relaxation and well-being.
