4. Are the stones really made of salt? Will they melt?
Yes — they’re carved from pure Himalayan salt. They will not melt during the massage because they’re kept dry and warmed at a stable temperature, not in water.
5. Is this safe for sensitive skin?
Most people tolerate it well. Those with extremely sensitive skin, rashes, eczema, open cuts, or recent shaving may prefer to avoid salt stone exfoliation on those areas.
6. Will the salt cause irritation?
Generally no. The stones are smooth and polished. If any irritation occurs, the therapist can switch to lighter pressure or avoid certain areas.

Warm, soothing, and deeply relaxing. The stones glide over the muscles, providing steady heat that softens tension and helps you unwind quickly.

Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on your therapist’s style and your goals.

If you have serious medical conditions, it’s best to check with your healthcare provider.
Clients with uncontrolled high blood pressure, active infections, cancer under treatment, or nerve issues should consult their doctor first.
