Guasha

Gua sha is a natural, alternative therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. This is an ancient Chinese healing technique to address issues like chronic pain.

​

How does it work?

In gua sha, a practitioner scrapes your skin with short or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue, which increases blood flow. They make these strokes with a smooth-edged instrument known as a Gua massage tool. The technician applies massage oil to your skin and then uses the tool to repeatedly scrape your skin in a downward motion.

​

Gua sha is generally performed on a person’s shoulders, back, neck, arms, and legs. A gentle version of it is even used on the face as a facial technique. Your technician may apply mild pressure, and gradually increase the intensity to determine how much force you can handle.

​

By rubbing the skin’s surface is thought to help break up the blocked energy, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

What you need to aware?

​

The procedure may change the appearance of your skin. Because it involves rubbing or scraping skin with a massage tool, tiny blood vessels known as capillaries near the surface of your skin can burst. This can result in skin bruising and minor bleeding. This is a safe and normal reaction. Bruising/gua sha marks usually disappears between 2 to 5 days.

Recommended to shower: 12 hours after treatment.
