What makes a Gua Sha massage so unique?
The Gua Sha treatment is an ancient massage and detoxification method from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). "Gua" means "scrape" in Chinese, and "Sha" means "acute illness." Hence, this stone is often referred to as a Gua Sha scraper.
Using the Gua Sha scraper, certain skin areas are scraped to stimulate reflex zones and meridians—channels through which the life energy "Chi" flows. In TCM, this massage is primarily used to prevent illness, stimulate circulation and lymph flow, and expel toxins. Gua Sha massage is a daily self-care ritual for radiant skin, with soothing effects and anti-aging benefits. This ancient Chinese beauty tool helps you emphasize facial contours, release tension, and enhance your natural glow.
