Larimar Spa, Radisson Aruba Resort Casino & Spa now offers a brand new Lava Shell massage that is both dreamy and relaxing. Fans of the hot-stone massage will immediately recognize the new treatment as an evolution of the popular traditional one.
The new Lava Shell treatment uses an all-natural heating technology that allows the shells to stay warm for up to two hours. The genuine Tiger Clam shells heat up when a simple salt water activator is added to a blend of food-grade minerals and absorptive ingredients including sea kelp and algae, to provide deeply comforting heat for a delicious massage combined with a therapeutic, soothing and pampering heat application.
“The shells, “says Director of Spa Services Bruce Cavan,” are generating a lot of interest in the spa world, where they allow therapists to perform a heated massage without losing touch time, leading to a much more effective and valuable massage compared to a hot stone treatment.”
The beautiful and unique shells fit nicely into the palm of the therapist and can be used on problem areas to release muscle tension and soreness and to promote relaxation of the fascia layers that connect muscles to the rest of the body.
The shells are also becoming popular with many couples, as a special treat for a Couple’s Massage, lending a little extra heat to the relationship, in the spa environment.
Committed to sustainable technology, the Lava Shells use no electricity, batteries or microwaves and the patented LavaGel ingredients are all-natural, non-toxic and biodegradable. The pink Tiger Clam shells may be obtained from local villages in the Philippines where they are part of the everyday diet, and spas all over the world are now turning what previously was waste into a gem of the ocean that anyone can enjoy.
