Hi Joan,
The product I recieved with my stones when I bought them is Fresh 'n Clear Spa Treatment. I am not sure how natural it is though. I use a very small amount, just a pinch or so. Hope this helps.
You could probably google the product name and see what you get. I believe the product is used to treat hot tubs. You don't need much, just a pinch for a large roaster, and I think it is relatively inexpensive. It is also good to clean stones after each client. I use a spa glove (dollar store) that can scrub the oil off, along with antibacterial soap and hot water (and rinse). I think of it as giving my stone folk a nice warm bath after a workout.
The use of a hydrocolator is appropriate where the stones can be heated to above 225 degrees f. To truly kill bacteria and microorganisms the heat has to be very high. The pourous nature of stones can be a breeding ground. There is an aruvedic oil treatment that drips oil onto a clients head... they catch the oil and re-use it with the belief that the older and more used it becomes the greater it's energy - hmmm - I think we all know better, but still it is what they believe and what they practise. The truth is oil is expensive in many places and they have to conserve their resources.
A quick story: Three women are sitting at thanksgiving table, grandma, mom, and granddaughter... granddaughter asks mom "why do you cut the end off the ham" Mom say "I do it because that's how my mom did it", she turns to her mother and asks "mom why did you cut the end off the ham?" The wise granny replies, "oh that - I did that because I didn't have a pan big enough to cook the ham in."
Balance our touch feel world with some mainstream science and it will keep all of us healthy.
