gua sha

Gua-sha is an ancient Chinese healing technique that involves scraping the skin in a specific pattern with a flat massage tool. The tool is usually made of smooth material like jade, bone or horn. Gua-sha increases blood flow to the area, which can help reduce pain and inflammation, improve the immune system, and promote healing. It is often used to treat pain, stiffness and tension in the muscles and joints, as well as digestive issues, headaches, fever and skin issues such as acne. Gua-sha is a safe and natural alternative to pharmaceutical drugs and can be used as part of a holistic health plan.
