What is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese practice dating back to the 14th Century. The term “Gua Sha”, means “to scrape illness or disease” Typically, this healing practice involves scraping the surface of skin with a stone tool to break up stagnation, also known as “Qi” in Chinese medicine. The repetitive action of gliding the tool across the skin helps to relieve muscle tension, flush out toxins and flush out toxins via the lymphatic system.
Although Gua Sha massage was once primarily used as a body treatment, it has since been adapted for facial massage therapies. Now widely recognised as a natural and effective facial massage technique. Facial Gua Sha promotes circulation in turn, delivering nutrient blood to the skin and tissues, whilst sculpting the face by removing excess toxins and fluids via the lymphatic system. The skin appears invigorated and lifted, and the facial muscles appear sculpted and relaxed.

Immediate and Long Term benefits
You can experience both immediate and cumulative benefits from incorporating Gua Sha into your skin care routine. After each massage, you can see an immediate reduction in puffiness, resulting in a sculpted jawline and cheekbones. The delivery of nutrient-rich blood and the removal of stagnant fluids gives the skin a lifted and glowing appearance.
Regular facial massage can help to soften lines and wrinkles on the face caused by habitual facial expressions and muscular tension. Using the gua sha tool on the body can help relieve pain caused by over-used muscles, and help to improve the appearance of cellulite by releasing and smoothing out bound up fascia.

How does Gua Sha work?
The lymphatic system is located just under the surface of the skin and is responsible for the removal of excess fluids, toxins and waste out of the body. When the lymphatic pathways become congested, it can result in puffy, dull skin and often problematic skin. Gua Sha massage places gentle pressure on the lymphatic system, helping to keep the lymph open and functioning properly so toxins can be removed whilst nutrient rich blood can be delivered to the skin and tissues.
