Stone therapy adds a new dimension to the science of alternative healing
Stones have now grabbed its place in the health domain. Stone therapy is an ancient science believed to originate in America but practised in many different countries like China, Japan and Rome.
Stones are used in massage therapy. It is a means to target the chakra points—the points where the energy is concentrated within the body as per the Indian science of Yoga. Both hot and cold massage sessions are administered to a patient suffering from body discomfort. Volcanic basalt stones are used in hot massage whereas marbles are used in cold massage. These stones are placed on the chakras and just the right amount of pressure relieves the tension and pain within the body. This serves to balance the fluid irregularities within the body.
Hot stones made of basalt, retain heat as they contain iron. Marbles do not heat up rapidly; hence can be effectively used for cold massage. Rocks lying beneath the river are subjected to the constant erosion by river water, thus making them smooth. Hence, these too can be used for stone therapy.
So, don’t look down on the stones and pebbles that lie under your feet while walking through the streets, henceforth.
