Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese therapy that involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool, often made of jade or horn. The practice has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support wellness and relaxation.
A practitioner applies oil to the skin and then uses the Gua Sha tool to stroke along specific areas. This creates a mild redness on the skin, which is believed to stimulate circulation, ease tension, and encourage balance.
