These days, a number of massage or spa centers are springing up everywhere that practice hot and cold massage therapies.

Modern forms of warm stone therapy make use of the volcanic stones since it retains heat. These are most often seen at saunas. This is also seen as an effective water purifier. The most common form of volcanic stone is the solid form of lava called basalt. Basalt is smooth and hence, it cools off rapidly. As it heats up instantly and cools off equally fast, these stones should be handled properly.

The Chinese are known to relax body and ease body aches associated with the body muscles. While, in Japan, people used to rely on the warm stones to relieve indigestion.
