During treatment, therapeutic massage techniques along with the added benefits of the Himalayan salt stone stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system promoting deep relaxation.
How Is Himalayan Salt Stone Massage Different From A Hot Stone Massage?
While traditional hot stone massage utilizes basalt stone, the Himalayan salt stone features 84 trace minerals that can be absorbed into the skin.
What Are The Benefits Of Himalayan Salt:
The heat from the stones softens fascial adhesion, promotes relaxation and detoxification, and helps bring the body back into homeostasis. Mineralizing the body can have profound effects on health.
- Detoxifies The Body By Balancing Systematic pH
- Improves Hydration By Providing Trace Minerals

- Emits Negative Ions Which Assist In Decreasing Inflammation
- Negative Ions From Salt Bind To Free Radicals & Neutralize Them

- Helps To Boost Immune System
- Salt Is Anti-Microbial
Why Are Negative Ions So Important?
We are constantly surrounded by positive ions generated by technology such as our cell phones and computers. Positive ions are known to suppress the immune system, cause anxiety, headaches, migraines, restless sleep, and fatigue.
Free radicals are positive ions that increase the acidity of the blood, raising acid levels, and increasing the aging process. Himalayan salt helps to balance positive ions with negative ones. In the process blood and lymphatic flow are stimulated assisting with the body’s natural detoxification system.

Recently I had a client say they didn’t understand the benefit of a 90 minute facial. So I thought I’d take a minute to write why I thought trying out a 90 minute facial is so beneficial.
First off you automatically get more time with Ultrasonic Cleansing. The ultrasonic cleansing part of the facial is one of the most beneficial parts of the facial. Ultrasonic does so many things and really is good for all skin types ranging from acne to anti-aging. Ultrasonic exfoliation provides a gentle exfoliation. It uses a sound frequency to gently lift dead skin and debris from the pores. It can also perform some extractions and is anti-bacterial. I have many clients tell me their skin is very clear weeks after a facial with ultrasonic. The ultrasonic can also stimulate collagen and elastin production and allows products to penetrate deeper into the skin. With my 1 hour facials you usually get just a few minutes of ultrasonic, but with 90 minutes you get between 10 and 15 minutes.
Another benefit is more pamper time! Most of this time is spent on one of my favorite parts of the facial. The facial massage. Facial massage is excellent for detoxifying the skin, moving lymph, de-puffing eyes and increasing circulation. There’s also more time spend on neck and shoulder massage.
And of course if there’s any special skin concern the client has, I get to spend more time on that problem. Such as if a client has need of extra extractions. I have more time to really clean up their pores!
So this is why I’d recommend trying out the 90 minute facial. It really is of benefit to your skin!

Release tension, increase circulation and reduce cellulite with dynamic cupping massage at Zen Body & Skin in Henderson, NV.
What Is Cupping Massage?
Cupping massage uses soft silicone cups that are placed on the body and squeezed creating a vacuum effect on the skin and fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds muscle). The cups have a pulling effect (instead of the pushing effect that’s associated with a typical massage).
How Does It Work?
The cups are glided across the body on oiled skin. This helps release tissues that get stuck together and are causing pain and blockages. The negative pressure of the cups pulls stagnant blood from the capillaries into the veins to be disposed of by the lymphatic system.
Dynamic Cupping can feel like a deep tissue massage. However, the intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level. A light touch will work on the superficial layers stimulating and clearing away stagnant lymph.
Benefits Of Cupping Massage
- Helps To Strengthen & Repair Skin Tissue
- Stimulate Cell Rejuvenation & Boost Skin Elasticity
- Helps To Smooth Tissue & Reduce The Look Of Cellulite
- Reduce Pain & Discomfort From Fibromyalgia
- Boosts Circulation & Lymphatic Drainage
- Increase Vibrancy & Energy
- Calms Nervous System Reducing Stress & Tension
- Abdominal Cupping Helps With Digestive Health
- Facial Cupping Reduces Pain From TMJ Disorder
What’s The Difference Between Dynamic Cupping Massage & Glass Fire Cupping?
After fire cupping “bruise” like circles may appear, remaining a few hours or up to several days after treatment. The marks are not true bruises instead they are stagnant fluids (blood, lymph, and toxins) that are brought to the surface and will be carried away by the lymph system.
A Holistic Treatment For Cellulite
Cupping massage is included in the cellulite smooth & tone treatment along with lypossage, wood therapy, dry brushing, and a green coffee and botanical toning oil.
Cupping Therapy For The Face
Smaller cups are used for the face and are often used to compliment holistic facials, facial gua sha, or buccal massage. Facial cupping helps relieve tension in the jaw and face, smooth out wrinkles, improve circulation and increase the skin’s metabolic rate. Cupping provides an immediate healthy glow to the skin.
- Smooths Out Fine Lines & Wrinkles
- Increases Skin’s Metabolic Rate
- Increases Production Of Collagen & Elastin
- Increases Lymph Flow & Circulation
- Immediate Glowing Skin

Benefits of Tea Tree Oil
Australian Aboriginal people have long recognized the multi-faced healing power of Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternafolia) but it wasn’t until the 1900′s that the Western World took notice.
Tea Tree Oil is most importantly used to help the immune system fight off infection. It activates the white corpuscles to aid in the defense against invading bacteria and helps to shorten the duration of an illness. It has properties that are antibiotic (combats infection) antiseptic (helps to control infection) and bactericide (kills bacteria), and fungicide (kills fungus). Using Tee Tree in aromatherapy affects the body and mind and lends a note of revitalization, especially after a shock.
These amazing properties make tea tree oil especially useful for acne, athlete’s foot, cold sores, ringworm, insect bites and stings, colds, and flus and thrush (yeast infections).
Tea tree blends well with several other essential oils. For an uplifting scent try mixing it with Lemon Essential Oil. For acne add equal amounts of Lavender Essential Oil (to reduce redness and inflammation). Because essential oils are potent it is best to dilute with a carrier oil (I love coconut oil) when applying directly to the skin. Also avoid contact with eyes.

The body has an amazing ability to detoxify itself. But in today’s world where we are constantly exposed to toxins in our water, air, food, and even many skincare products.
Like herbs, essential oils can assist the body with detoxification. To limit your exposure to toxins, the use of essential also are a wonderful natural alternative to synthetic perfumes, air fresheners, and cleaners.
What Essential Oils Can Help With Detoxing?
There are numerous essential oils that can help cleanse the body’s organs, assist in moving lymph and fluids, and even reduce the look of cellulite.
Clove Essential Oil. The health benefits of Clove Oil can mainly be attributed to its antimicrobial, antifungal, antiseptic, antiviral, aphrodisiac and stimulating properties. Clove Essential oil is used for treating a variety of health disorders including toothaches, indigestion, cough, asthma, headache, stress and blood impurities. This is generally safe to use topically and orally. (Although needs to be used cautiously during pregnancy or for those with sensitive skin.) I quite like the taste of clove essential oil and I love the fresh breath it gives you (wonderful for gargling)but beware this oil is really strong and can cause extreme skin sensitivity and if not diluted when taken orally…really it can blow your head off!
Grapefruit Essential Oil has a wonderful clean citrusy scent. Grapefruit Essential Oil also has a long list of medicinal uses including relief from migraines, stress and depression. Most notably, if you are looking for a slimming and detoxification effect, Grapefruit Essential Oil may assist with reducing Cellulite, lymphatic decongestion and water retention.
Rosemary Essential Oil has been historically used to drive away evil spirits and protect from plague and infectious diseases. Now I’m not sure about its affect on evil spirits but it does have antifungal, antibacterial and anti-infectious qualities. So there’s definitely something there when it comes to warding off disease. This essential oil is also known to fight cellulite and fluid retention. (Although generally safe for most people its best avoided during pregnancy or if you have epilepsy or high blood pressure)
Geranium Essential Oil has one of the more intense scents of the Essential Oils I use, so if you are sensitive to strong smells you may not enjoy using the individual oil. As with most essential oils (I’m sure you see a pattern here) Geranium is anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. This oil is also excellent for circulatory problems as it improves blood flow (Note that areas of excess fat and cellulite have poor circulation) The oil also assists in dilating biliary ducts or liver detoxification.
Next time you have a massage at Zen Body & Skin in Las Vegas, NV ask about adding an essential oil for detoxification. You may also purchase essential oils for your own personal use. Add a couple of drops to a warm bath or carrier oil or diffuse in a cold diffuser.
