Gua Sha Massage

Gua Sha Massage is a holistic therapy that involves scraping the skin’s surface using a smooth-edged tool made from various materials, such as jade, buffalo horn, or ceramic. The main goal of gua sha is to stimulate blood circulation and encourage the body’s natural healing processes.
During a gua sha massage session, a trained therapist applies light to moderate pressure on the skin using the scraping tool. The therapist follows specific pathways and meridians that are believed to correspond to different organs and systems within the body according to TCM principles. By applying the scraping technique, the therapist aims to release stagnant energy, known as “qi” or “chi,” and remove toxins from the body.
The scraping action stimulates the flow of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the affected areas, promoting healing and reducing discomfort. Through the removal of toxins and metabolic waste from the body, gua sha massage can support the lymphatic system and enhance detoxification processes. Gua sha can improve microcirculation in the skin, leading to a healthier complexion and potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
While the procedure may cause temporary redness or slight bruising, it should not be painful or cause injury. The marks left by gua sha, known as “sha,” typically fade within a few days.
