Hot stones
Volcanic rocks are dark, dense rocks, rich in iron and with great heat retention. Applying them on the skin increases dilation of the blood and lymphatic vessels, which as a consequence gives the person a sensation of relaxation and well-being. In Lanzarote, hydrotherapy salons have incorporated this beneficial treatment for body and soul. During a hot-stone session, the therapist places the stones at about 140°F [60° C] on several places like the spine, abdomen, hands, and among other spots, the toes. Normally, the therapist begins by placing some stones on key points of the spine, while he/she begins a soft massage with hot oil on the lower limbs.
