Himalayan Salt Stone Massage

Himalayan salt stone massage is a manual therapeutic technique that uses solid blocks of crystalline salt rich in micro- and macroelements such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iron. The treatment combines thermotherapeutic, osmotic, and manual effects, positively influencing the muscular, lymphatic, and nervous systems.

During the massage, tissues are gradually warmed, microcirculation improves, muscle tension is released, and the body’s natural detoxification processes are supported. Direct skin contact with Himalayan salt promotes smoothing, nourishment, and enhanced sensory comfort, while simultaneously providing deep relaxation and overall physiological balance.

This lesson is designed for those who want to learn Himalayan salt stone massage techniques, including stone preparation and heating principles, professional treatment protocols, and contraindications. The learning process includes theoretical content, instructional videos, step-by-step guidance, and a completion certificate.
