The Benefits of Jade Stone Massage

Why Use Jade Stone?

The jade stone has been used in massage techniques around the globe for centuries. It’s known to relax the nervous system and aid in the removal of toxins from the body. The stone also symbolizes happiness, wealth, and luck. Jade stone is natural and is found in abundance throughout British Columbia, and although it can be found in various colours, it is often known for its intense green colour.

Cultural Significance

For centuries, the Chinese have revered jade for its healing properties. It is known as the “Stone of Heaven.” The gemstone has been used as a massage and meditation tool by other cultures throughout history, including the Egyptians and Mayans. Jade is widely known to help relax the nervous system and remove toxins from the body. 

Anti-Bacterial Stones

There are two types of jade stones: Nephrite and Jadeite. You’ll find both types of jade stones used in jewelry, but in jade stone massage, we use the nephrite form of jade. These stones are non-porous, making them anti-bacterial and ideal for use in a massage. Nephrite stones are also more commonly found in nature.

What You Should Know Before You Book an Appointment

Hot Stone Treatments 

During a jade stone massage appointment, we use jade stones in a variety of ways. Hot stones may be placed under and on your body, depending on your pain points. We then use a smooth stone to directly massage your body and limbs to work out tension and promote deep relaxation. 

Pain Relief

If you experience back pain, sciatica, hypertension, arthritis pain, or deep muscle and tissue pain, jade stone massage can help alleviate your symptoms. While many patients feel the benefits of jade stone massage for several days after their appointments, the best results come from regular visits. 

More Than Muscle Pain Relief

Massage therapy is about more than just pain relief. It also promotes a relaxed state of mental alertness. Regular massage appointments help foster peace of mind and reduce mental stress. Massage can also reduce levels of anxiety, enhance capacity for creativity, and increase your mind-body awareness.
