Use this set of Palewa Massage Stones in your self-care routine to release tension and decrease inflammation. Chilled stones are best for decreasing inflammation, while stones heated in warm-hot water work well to release tension. Stones can also be used to massage deep into tight muscles. Palewa is a soapstone which retains heat well and has a high magnesium content; it is also naturally non-porous, making it ideal for massage stones. These stones were hand-carved and polished by makers of Agra Bazar in India, a workshop which ensures fair wages and safe working conditions for stone artisans.
