What is a quartz spa treatment bed?
It's a spa treatment bed with a difference. Comprising spherical Dolomites quartz crystals, which warm and mould around you and body, you can let your mind drift into a deep state of relaxation while you enjoy your spa treatment and the healing crystal energy.
What do the quartz healing stones do?
Dolomite quartz is known to invigorate our entire chakra system while grounding our emotions as well. If you often find yourself out of balance, Dolomite healing crystal energies focus on balancing our emotional and physical bodies.
In the quartz bed, we can tap into Mother Earth's energies and intentions so that we may begin to reprogram our chakra system to be fully aligned once more. Meanwhile, the dry heat is reminiscent of the beach, and the granular nature of the sand provides great support for a massage or facial.
Who is the quartz spa bed recommended for?
The quartz spa treatment bed is great if you want to clear your head, if you're feeling drained or if you feel like your energy needs balancing. Even in the centre of London it's a lovely way to reconnect with yourself, and nature.
Is there anyone who shouldn't use the quartz spa bed?
The quartz spa treatment bed isn't recommended for anyone who's having a pregnancy massage or treatment.
