✨ The History of Gua Sha
Gua sha is an ancient healing technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is considered one of the oldest recorded scraping techniques, traditionally using smooth stones or other tools to gently scrape the skin to help relieve discomfort and address various symptoms.
The term gua sha translates to:
Gua — to scrape.
Sha — refers to the redness or small petechiae that can appear on the skin following traditional gua sha treatments.
Today, gua sha has evolved into a gentler technique used in facial wellness and skincare to support relaxation, circulation, and a refreshed appearance. ✨
