What is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha is a technique from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that uses smooth stones of varying shapes to move qi. It is used for myriad treatments and conditions to wonderful healing effect. In my practice, I offer it as a facial massage that is incredibly relaxing to the entire body.
Benefits include:
Brightening the skin
Tonifying the skin to tighten, lift, sculpt, and firm
Decreasing hyperpigmentation
Decreasing stagnation, congestion, and blackheads
Relaxing the Central Nervous System (CNS) for full-body relaxation and stress relief
Stimulating the entire body by addressing the nervous system and meridians
Moving lymphatic fluid to decrease puffiness and increase brightness and tone
Supporting the immune system by supporting the lymphatic system
Releasing tight muscles in the neck, face, and jaw
Releasing tight muscles that contribute to detrimental conditions such as TMJ and chronic neck pain
And more!
