Guasha Therapy

Gua Sha, also known as scraping therapy, is a technique rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It involves gently scraping the skin using a flat, smooth-edged tool. The primary goals of Gua Sha are to stimulate the flow of blood, Qi (vital energy), and lymph within the body.

During a Guasha session:

  • I use a special tool (often made of jade, bone, or horn).

  • I gently scrape the skin with short or long strokes, aiming to enhance microcirculation in the soft tissue and increase blood flow.

  • The technique is believed to address stagnant energy (referred to as chi) in the body, which practitioners associate with inflammation.

  • By breaking up this energy, Guasha aims to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Gua Sha is typically performed on areas like the back, buttocks, neck, arms, and legs. There’s even a gentler version used for facial treatments
