Hot Rock Massage to use at home!  

This is a home spa treatment passed on from a spa in the Arizona desert region, but you certainly don't have to be near a desert to implement it.    Just find yourself some flat stones.

Use a slow cooker to heat the rocks, just add a tad of water at the bottom. Generally an 12 or 18 qt size slow cooker will do the trick, depending on the size of the stones being utilized. You do not have to leave the stones in very long. When removing be careful!! They will be hot. You may want to let them cool off slightly before you have them placed on your back.  

Select a large flat smooth stone, the size of your palm. Heat stone in a low temperature oven until warm but not hot. Rub some scented massage oil into the stone and use this heated rock to give your partner a soothing massage.

The heat form the stone relaxes and penetrates the muscles. Use up to 15 drops of essential oil per 1 oz. unscented oil. Start with less drops. You can always add more. Try Sweet Almond Grapeseed or Apricot Oil..

This is great after your workout or just a wonderful stress reliever!
