Stone therapy is an important way to experience an ancient massage. It can feel very good and is also used to help cure and heal a great number of ailments.

While the exact items in a hot stone massage kit can vary, here are the typical things you will find in a kit and what they are used for.

Hot stones – Your kit will also include the smooth stones themselves for heating and massaging. How many stones and the sizes of the stones can vary from kit to kit but you will get enough to perform the standard massages. An extra large kit may contain more stones or more variations of stones.

Instruction book or booklet – The instruction book or guide will tell you how to perform different hot stone massages. It might also include instructions for using different oils, gemstone chakra treatment and dealing with specific healing powers.

Oils for massages – Some kits will also come with some starter oils but this is not always the case.

Accessories – You may also need accessories such as a strainer, tongs to get the rocks out of the warmer, etc.

Warmer- You will need some kind of warmer for heating the rocks before the massage.

A tub or bucket for placing it all in – Some kits will also come with a container or tub for placing it all in. Others will use the warmer itself as a container when not heated and in use.

A hot stone massage kit will get you started with everything you need to perform this type of massage. Massage courses will also help ensure you know just how to use the hot stone kit correctly. When you have all the supplies that you need in your kit, you’ll be ready to begin using this for yourself.
