Gua sha, it is a safe and non-invasive practice that has been used for centuries to promote healing and well-being.
Gua sha is a traditional Chinese healing method that has been used for centuries to promote healing and alleviate pain. It involves the use of a smooth-edged tool, such as a small wooden spoon, buffalo horn, or a gemstone gua sha tool, to gently scrape areas of the skin.
A trained professional typically performs gua sha by using the tool to stroke the skin in a particular direction and with a specific amount of pressure.
Gua-sha helps to release tension and promote the flow of qi, or vital energy, within the body and is often used to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, and respiratory problems.
It is also commonly used in combination with other traditional Chinese therapies, such as acupuncture and cupping.
