Gua Sha Specialist
(coming soon)

Gua sha is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to scrape away fever, illness and inflammation from the body, to release pain and to strengthen the immune system. 

 

With the gua sha, you are physically moving the blood.  When there is lack of movement, there is no flow so blood gets trapped in the spaces under the skin.  These stagnated areas collect toxins, like a still pool of water that does not move.  With gua sha, we want to bring in movement, we want to make space in the tissues.

 

Gua means scrape, sha is the result which is the redness.  The smooth scraping invigorates blood flow, removes stagnation and brings in more nutrients and oxygen.  The redness can appear as a result of encouraging circulation and releasing heat.
