Gua Sha
Gua sha is a traditional Chinese healing method in which a trained professional uses a smooth-edged tool to stroke your skin while they press on it. This motion raises small, red, rash- like dots that show under your skin called petechiae.
People use Gua sha to treat chronic pain all over their body. They often do it alongside other complementary treatments like herbal medicine, massage, acupuncture, and heat therapy.
To prepare you for treatment, your technician will put oil on your body. They’ll then use the stone-like Gua sha massage tool to scrape to your skin in long, downward strokes. This is when you’ll notice areas of petechiae on your skin.
Most people get Gua sha on their:
- Back
- Neck
- Butt
- Arms
- Legs
- Face (process would be gentler)
Contraindication: who are use blood-thinning medications or anticoagulants
This process is believed to help blood flow and create “lifting” effect on your skin, which some say may help lessen toxins in your body and promote healing.
