Gua Sha is a natural method of treatment in which a round-edge massage tool is used to scrape the skin (often targeting the back, neck, shoulders, and/or limbs). The tools may include a ceramic spoon, slice of horn, or jade.
This ancient Chinese healing technique improves blood and lymph circulation. Gua Sha removes toxic heat from teh body, increases circulation, removes stagnation and helps reduce pain.
Gua Sha treatments are not painful.
Treatment produces “Sha” or red petechiae which fade in 2 to 4 days. The intensity and color of the Sha indicate severity of blood or qi stagnation. Very light Sha points to blood deficiency. Bright red Sha indicates acute condition which has not penetrated the inside of the body yet. More chronic condition exists if the petechiae is purple or black. Brown color signifies dryness in the body and fluid deficiency. Body has heat if the Sha is dark red.
