Gua Sha Therapy is one of the technique I use to help treat my patients. First a little idea what Gua Sha Therapy does and how it benefits you.
You may ask, "What is that?" Gua means to scrape or rub. Sha is a "reddish, elevated, millet-like skin rash' (aka petechiae). Sha is the term used to describe Blood stasis in the subcutaneous tissue before and after it is raised as petechiae. Gua Sha is one technique that intentionally raises a Sha rash or petechiae. It is a traditional ancient Chinese healing technique that dates back over two thousand years.
This ancient method of promoting "qi" or bioelectric vital life energy and blood circulation as well as the removal of toxic heat, stagnant blood and lymph fluid from the body is an extremely important, almost miraculous method of improving one's health. "Qi" is the constant and vigorous movement of energy or life force that keeps us healthy and alive.
Do you suffer from chronic pain? Excess systemic toxicity? Poor circulation? Lymphatic congestion? Inflammation? Fatigue? Infections? Physical or emotional stress? If so, then you will greatly benefit from Gua Sha treatment.
The method of applying Gua Sha involves the layering of Gua Sha oil (in my clinic I use special herbal oil) on the skin. This oil is enhanced either with healing herbs or essential oils chosen to aid the extraction of toxic waste. The skin is then scraped in the area of discomfort or at times on the entire body using a specific Gua Sha tool depending on whether the treatment is for physical or emotional healing.
Gua Sha tool comes in many shapes and sizes. From my experience and many years of usage, I find this tool is perfect size to work on the facial wrinkles and dark circles around the eyes with combination using herbal oil. Also has a great handle to work on the rest of the body. This Gua Sha tool I use specifically for my Facial Rejuvenation clientelle.
