Gua Sha Treatment

Gua Sha Treatment

Although few in the Western world are familiar with it, gua sha is one of the oldest natural healing methods in traditional Chinese medicine. During the treatment, herbal oil is applied to the skin and massaged in using a special scraping tool with distinctive movements along the meridians, helping to facilitate the flow of Qi and blood. The painless gua sha treatment results in a purplish-red discoloration on the affected skin area, which fades completely after a few days, coinciding with the resolution of the ailment.
