To Gua Sha or Not to Gua Sha?
Gua sha is a traditional Chinese healing technique that involves scraping the skin with a massage tool to improve circulation and promote healing. (You can find our favorite one here!) While its origins are rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, gua sha has gained popularity in recent years as a skincare and beauty practice.
Here are some reasons why we love GUA SHA! You can add Gua Sha onto your next treatment for only $10.
Improved Blood Circulation: Gua sha is thought to stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage in the skin. The scraping motion is believed to increase circulation, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells and helping to remove toxins.
Reduced Inflammation: The gentle scraping of the gua sha tool has an anti-inflammatory effect. By promoting lymphatic drainage, it can help reduce swelling and puffiness in the face.
Tension Release: Gua sha is also used to release tension in the muscles & fascia of the face. Relaxing these muscles can contribute to a more youthful and relaxed appearance.
Promotion of Qi Flow: In traditional Chinese medicine, gua sha is believed to balance the flow of Qi (energy) in the body. By promoting the harmonious flow of energy, it is thought to contribute to overall well-being, including the health and appearance of the skin.
