Woman tourst undergoes Hot stone bath therapy: unique spa regimen from Bhutan

From the archive record

Hot stone massage therapy melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness and increases circulation and metabolism. Each 1 ½ hour hot stone massage therapy session promotes deeper muscle relaxation through the placement of smooth, water-heated stones at key points on the body. The waters of the hot stone bath are infused with the green leaves of artemesia, to give them the essence and fragrance and to set the mood for relaxation.
