Gua Sha

Gua Sha is a form of traditional Chinese therapy, based on the TCM theory of meridians. During the Gua Sha treatment, the skin is lightly scraped (刮 “gua”) using a scraping tool to produce a red, bruise-like/rash-like appearance (痧 “sha”). This helps to relieve tension and tightness, release blockage in the meridians, promote blood circulation and dispel toxins from the body, thereby preventing and treating various illnesses.
