Gua Sha is a tool that has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine and passed from generation to generation.
The term "Gua" translates as scraping and "Sha" as "sand" but also as "disease", so the literal translation of this ancient technique would be something like "scraping the disease ". The idea of the free movement of "qi" and blood is inherent in the concept of health in Chinese medicine otherwise , the stagnation of fluids in the tissue is considered detrimental to health.
This routine or ritual is used to reduce the effects of aging and improve the skin. Facial gua sha can promote new cell growth, help control acne, tighten skin, reduce clogged pores, reduce fine lines, dark circles, puffy eyes and sagging skin, and improve skin with a fresh and healthy glow.
