What is Guasha?
Guasha(刮痧) is an unique Chinese therapy used to promote blood circulation and removing toxic heat, blood and lymph from the body.
Our body needs a constant and vigorous movement of energy (”Qi”) and blood to keep us healthy and alive. But if there is a presence of toxins, “Sha” (痧) will be formed and caused congestion in the circulation.
“Gua” (刮) means scrape over the skin using a “buffalo-horn” guasha board in certain direction
“GuaSha” (刮痧) means toxins are being brought to the surface by the rubbing, thus promoting blood circulation.
Note: Do not worry. The “sha” does not surface as tiny red spots on the skin of the face and is not painfully at all, rather will feel very comfortable like massaging.
