Gua Sha(Scraping)/刮痧

Service Description

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese medical treatment in which the skin is scraped to produce light bruising. Practitioners believe this treatment releases unhealthy bodily matter from blood stasis within sore, tired, stiff, or injured muscle areas to stimulate new oxygenated blood flow to the areas, thus promoting metabolic cell repair, regeneration, healing, and recovery. Gua Sha is performed with a smooth-edged instrument known as a Gua Sha tool, which is traditionally made from materials like jade, bone, or horn. The skin is lubricated with oil before the tool is used to apply pressure and scrape the skin in long strokes. The technique is commonly used to treat chronic pain and can also be applied to address conditions such as the common cold, flu, bronchitis, and asthma. Additionally, in recent years, Gua Sha has gained popularity in the beauty and wellness industry as a method for facial treatment to improve circulation and reduce inflammation, potentially helping with puffiness, fine lines, and wrinkles. Despite its benefits, it's important to note that the practice should be done by a knowledgeable practitioner to avoid potential side effects.
