Detailed Product Description

marble is sedimentary stone formed over millennium under great pressure at the bottom of the sea. Marble is the preferred medium for the application of therapy for body, mind, and soul treatments. Marble holds the cold and releases its energy without the melt and mess of using ice. Marble produces a less harsh cold than ice or cold basalt stones. Marble maintains its temperature longer than ice or cold basalt stones. Marble is used for protection; many altars are made of marble for this purpose. It is also said to aid in personal success and body fitness. Heated and chilled forms. To offer 'hot stone only massage' is only half the picture. Like the Yin without the Yang, the use of hand-crafted, polished, white marble stones to deliver cooling temperatures is a natural balance to the dark, ocean tumbled basalt used to warm and sedate the body. Cold, used alone on the body, is a powerful decongestant, pushing fluid and wastes out of overworked, chronically tense, or inflamed tissues. Cold can interrupt the pain-spasm-pain cycle. In cooperation with heated stones, chilled marble stones create a dramatic movement of fluids within the body. This is healing due to the cleansing and nourishing effect of vascular gymnastics (alternate constriction / dilation of blood vessels) . Cold offers a challenge to the body, so it is tonifying, or strengthening, to several bodily systems, especially the immune system.
