Heated  massage using recycled, Tiger Clam Shells from the Philippines. The shells once discarded by local villagers are polished ready for use as a massage tool. No clams are harvested to obtain the shells and the latest technology heats the shells without the use of electricity. The heat activating ingredients are also biodegradable making Lava Shell massage truly eco friendly from start to finish.

The Benefits of Heat
There are several benefits to heated treatments including: extreme relaxation, removal of toxins from cells; enhanced blood flow; relaxation of sore, stiff muscles and relief of painful arthritic joints.

Because the shells are calcium carbonate, they give off calcium ions naturally when heated, which are transferred directly to the skin during the massage process. The calcium helps to regulate the skin's natural renewal processes and can help to give a client firmer, healthier looking skin, while also reaping all the benefits of a heated massage treatment.

The Treatments
Stand alone treatments include the use of essential oils and vary in length from full body massage to back, neck and shoulder massage. Lava Shells are used in high profile spas around the world and are growing in popularity. One of the reasons for this is that the therapist has much more hands on time with the individual as there is no need to keep replacing cooling stone, as in hot stone massage.

The heated lava shells can also be incorporated into other treatments including Swedish massage, manicures, pedicures, facials and reflexology.
