Hot Rocks Massage Treatment

I bought these after years of wanting to try them.

I wasn't expecting much from a bag full of rocks but I was pleasantly surprised.

They don't take long to heat up I was really surprised. I popped them on to boil and within a few minutes they were really hot, after waiting about 15 minutes for them to cool down my OH placed them on my back.

It's amazing how these little rocks can relieve tension. After lying for some time with these on my back I felt less stressed after my bad day. Along with this my aching back didn't feel as bad.

I was that impressed I told my friends about them and now they want to try them. I don't think they relieve the symptoms of back pain but they definitely did relax me.

Team these with a nice little back rub you can't go wrong.

I bought these as a present for my partner and he is quite stressed at the moment and these certainly did the trick.

Once hot, place them down the spine (almost impossible to do it to yourself) and relax.

They are really simple to use but just take care that you don't burn yourself.

These are perfect.

I could end right there! When we were ordering my partner and I were trying to decide who was right - whether you got just the three stones with writing on, or all of the smaller ones too. I'm pleased to say that you receive all of the stones, if anyone else is unsure.

Our bag wasn't as nice as the one in the image - rather than a soft, red velvet bag we got a rough black one, but the stones were nice, which is what matters really.

There is also a small instruction page with suggestions for using the stones; e.g. along the arms, or the stomach, not just the back, which was really nice and allowed my otherwise clueless O.H to prepare the stones as a surprise while I showered.

To use them you can either pour boiling water from the kettle over them (easier, and quicker but they retain less heat this way), or you can simmer them in a pan over the hob, which I think is most suitable if you really want to take your time with them.

I found that the stones work best with a small amount of oil, just enough so that you or your partner can glide them along the skin, as if you use too much the stones do tend to slide off.

There are similar sets elsewhere, both online and offline, but I've certainly not seen any match this quality and price - in fact I'm buying another set to give as a gift right now!

Can't recommend these enough; as gifts for others, for their therapeutic merit, or as a great way to work up to getting your rocks off, just go for it.
