Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese healing technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool, often made of jade or rose quartz. This practice is believed to promote circulation, relieve muscle tension, and enhance overall wellness. It is commonly used on the back, neck, and face, and is thought to help with various ailments, including pain and inflammation. During a Gua Sha session, the practitioner applies oil to the skin and then uses the tool to scrape in long strokes. This action can create temporary redness or bruising, known as "sha," which is considered a sign of the treatment's effectiveness. Gua Sha is gaining popularity in wellness and beauty routines for its potential skin benefits.
