An herb can be a leaf, bark, or any part of a plant used for its medicinal, aromatic, or food flavoring properties. Herbs have provided humankind with medicine from the earliest beginnings of civilization. Throughout history, various cultures have handed down their accumulated knowledge of the medicinal use of herbs to successive generations.

Each hot stone massage therapy session promotes deeper muscle relaxation through the placement of smooth, heated stones at key points on the body. Our professional massage therapists also incorporate a customized massage, with the use of hot stones which offers enhanced benefits. The premise behind hot stone massage therapy is that the direct heat of the stones relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist access to their deeper muscle layers.

read moreWhat is Cupping? Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine dating as far back as 3000 B.C. Cupping works by expanding the capillaries and increasing the amount of fluid entering and leaving the body's tissues. How does Cupping Work? Uniquely designed for each patient, special cups are placed on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. The suction uses pressure to pull skin, tissue, and muscles upward. Patients will feel a tight, but relaxing and soothing sensation. Cupping is proven to increase blood circulation, disperse lactic acid, and release muscle tension.
