Gua Sha / Roller
Description
<head><meta charset="UTF-8" /></head>
Gua Sha is a traditional East Asian healing technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to improve circulation and promote healing. The term “Gua Sha” roughly translates to “scrape” (Gua) and “sand” (Sha, referring to the red, rash-like marks that can appear on the skin after the treatment).
Here’s how it works:
1. Tool and Materials: A Gua Sha tool is typically made of jade, rose quartz, metal, or horn. Oil is often applied to the skin to reduce friction.
2. Method: The practitioner or individual uses the tool to apply pressure and scrape the skin in long, firm strokes, usually along muscles or energy meridians.
3. Purpose:
• It is believed to release muscle tension, promote lymphatic drainage, and improve blood flow.
• In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is also thought to balance energy (Qi) and release toxins.
4. Benefits:
• May relieve muscle pain and stiffness.
• Can reduce inflammation.
• Promotes relaxation and stress relief.
• Facial Gua Sha is popular for improving circulation, reducing puffiness, and promoting a healthy glow.
5. Side Effects: The technique can cause redness, bruising, or tenderness, which typically fade within a few days. It is considered safe when performed correctly.
Gua Sha can be used on the body or face, with facial Gua Sha being gentler and focused on skincare benefits.
