Using Your Tool
How Much Pressure To Apply
Eye Area: no pressure (let the weight of the tool do the work).
Face: light pressure (imagine stroking a newborn).
Body: medium or firm pressure only (never hard).
If lymphatic drainage is the goal, barely any pressure is required.
Licenced TCM Practitioners may apply deep pressure given their extensive education & knowledge of the body.
Do's
Consult with a TCM practitioner if you are pregnant, are using blood thinners, or have any health issues.
Clean your #rockwithcare with gentle soap and pat dry before / after each use.
Protect your stone from breaking by placing a towel or mat on the floor.
Store your box in the organic cotton pouch and drawer box provided.
Don'ts

If using the stone directly on skin, apply a face or body oil to avoid pulling the skin.
