Traditional Chinese healing art
Gua Sha (刮痧) is a traditional Chinese medicine method over 2000 years old, belonging to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) arsenal. The word "Gua" means scraping or rubbing, while "Sha" refers to erythema or redness that occurs during treatment.
This natural healing method is based on the traditional understanding that illnesses and pain arise from stagnation of energy (qi) and blood in the body. Gua Sha helps restore free energy flow and stimulates the body's natural self-healing ability.
Gua Sha tools
Traditional Gua Sha therapy uses special natural materials:
Jade tools
Properties: Jade is traditionally the most valued Gua Sha material.
- Naturally cool temperature that soothes the skin
- Smooth surface that glides easily over skin
- Energetically balancing according to traditional medicine
- Durable for long-term use
- Hygienic and easy to clean
Quartz tools
Properties: Quartz is an alternative natural material to jade.
- Crystal clear and hygienic
- Neutral temperature and energy
- More durable and less breakable than jade
- Smooth texture for optimal gliding
- Suitable for all skin types
Both materials are natural, safe, and specially designed for Gua Sha technique. The shape and edge angle of the tools are optimized to stimulate the skin effectively yet gently.
How does Gua Sha therapy work?
Stimulates circulation
Scraping movements increase blood circulation in the treated area, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to tissues while accelerating metabolism.
Activates lymphatic system
Stimulates lymph flow, helping the body eliminate toxins, waste products, and inflammatory substances.
Reduces muscle tension
Releases fascia and muscle tissue tension, reducing pain sensations and improving mobility and flexibility.
Promotes detoxification
Helps remove accumulated toxins and metabolites from tissues, supporting the body's natural cleansing process.
Calms nervous system
Rhythmic scraping movements activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety.
Strengthens immune system
Stimulates the body's defense resources and helps strengthen overall health and resistance.
Which conditions does Gua Sha help?
Normal reaction: temporary redness
During Gua Sha therapy, temporary redness (erythema) appears on the skin, which is completely normal and expected. This redness indicates that:
- Circulation has been activated in the treatment area
- Toxins and stagnation are being released from tissues
- The therapy is working effectively
- The body's natural healing process has been initiated
Redness typically lasts 2-5 days and then disappears completely. The intensity and duration of redness may vary depending on the person's condition and problem severity.
