Stone Massage in Hue

Hot stone massage involves the use and placement of basalt River rocks, which are polished and rounded to be very smooth on the skin and then placed on different points of the body.​ These stones were originally formed from volcanic rock, and they retain an even heat very well.​ The stones are heated before use and the massage therapist can then apply deeper pressure to areas of concern without causing any discomfort. The heated stones penetrate deep into muscle tissue, and are also combined with essential oils so that they glide smoothly along the skin​ and facilitate a firm even pressure.​
