Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese healing technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to enhance circulation, relieve tension, and promote overall wellness. The name "Gua Sha" translates to "scrape sand," referring to the method of scraping the skin to stimulate blood flow and release toxins.
In our practice, we exclusively use copper Gua Sha boards, which have unique benefits. Copper is one of the essential elements for the human body and possesses two key properties: it stimulates the skin to produce its collagen upon contact and has natural antibacterial effects.
This scraping technique may produce redness or bruising, known as "sha," indicating the release of stagnant energy and blood. Gua Sha is believed to be effective in alleviating muscle pain, reducing inflammation, and improving skin appearance by promoting collagen production and lymphatic drainage. It can also help relieve symptoms of respiratory issues, headaches, and stress.
