Reported by Hket.com on June 24, a group of women recently come to a park in Xi'an frequently to lie on the heated landscape stones in the sun. Why? Because they believe the thermal therapy from the hot stones can warm up their stomach and back and “cure” diseases.

Doctors suggest they should be careful when engaging these folk prescriptions. It is not a scientifically regarded way to get effective treatment by lying on hot stones to cure diseases, and furthermore that people can easily get burned or have a heat stroke in the sun. (Photo/Cankaoxiaoxi.com)
