• increasing the body’s temperature
• increasing blood and lymphatic circulation
• soothing sensory nerve endings
• relaxing tight muscles

Cold Stones – provide an invigorating, toning and stimulating effect by:

• decreasing the body’s temperature and blood circulation

• producing a tightening effect on the skin. Cold stones alternated with warm stones can help to balance the circulation locally and promote healing.
