Description

Gua-sha is a part of the Traditional Chinese Medication (TCM). It is also known as "scraping", "spooning", or "coining". It is used professionally as an instrument to  scrape people's pores and skin, it is said to have a therapeutic advantage.

In Gua-sha, a technician scrapes your skin layer with brief or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the smooth cells, which increases blood circulation; they make these strokes with a smooth-edged device known as a Gua-therapeutic massage tool, the specialist applies massage essential oil to your skin layer, and then uses the tool to scrape your skin layer in a downward movement frequently.


The procedure of this particular medication has a French name called tribo-effleurage. Gua-sha is an all-natural option therapy that involves scraping your skin layer with a therapeutic massage tool to boost your blood circulation. This ancient Chinese curing technique provides a unique method for better health and also deals with issues like chronic pain.

Gua-sha is usually performed on the back, buttocks, neck, hands and legs. A mild version of it is even applied to the facial skin as a cosmetic technique. Your specialist may apply moderate pressure and then steadily increase strength to regulate how much pressure you are designed for.


Gua-sha is supposed to handle stagnant energy called chi, professionals believe that this "chi" is responsible for swellings in any part of the body. Swelling is the reason behind several conditions associated with chronic pain. Massaging the skin's surface is considered to help split up this energy, reduce irritation and promote recovery.
