These are heated smooth, flat stones which are placed on key points on the body. The stones are held and used to massage certain areas of the body. Stones are immersed in water and heated in an electric heating device until they are within a certain temperature range. They may be placed at specific points on the back, in the palms of the hand, or between the toes. The heat warms and relaxes the muscles, improves circulation and calms the nervous system. These stones can be placed on points that are thought to be energy centers of the body to rebalance the body and mind.
