Gua Sha

Gua Sha, meaning "scraping" in Chinese, involves the use of a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin, stimulating blood circulation and relieving tension.

Our Gua Sha therapy begins with a consultation to understand your specific needs and concerns. Following this, our experienced therapists will apply gentle pressure with the Gua Sha tool along specific meridian lines and acupressure points on your body. This technique helps release stagnant energy, known as "qi," and encourages the body's natural healing processes.

The therapeutic benefits of Gua Sha include:

1. Facilitates Lymphatic Flow: During a gua sha massage, the scraping techniques employed assist in promoting lymphatic drainage across various facial regions. With full control over pressure intensity, individuals can customize their experience to suit their preferences, opting for either gentle or firmer strokes.


2. Improved Blood Circulation: The scraping action of Gua Sha helps to increase blood flow to the treated areas, promoting oxygen and nutrient delivery to the tissues and aiding in the removal of toxins.


3. Muscle Relaxation: Gua Sha therapy helps to release tension and tightness in the muscles, providing relief from stiffness and discomfort.


4. Detoxification: By stimulating the lymphatic system, Gua Sha assists in the removal of metabolic waste and toxins from the body, promoting detoxification and improved overall health.


5. Pain Relief: Gua Sha is effective in alleviating various types of pain, including muscle soreness, tension headaches, and chronic pain conditions.


6. Skin Rejuvenation: The gentle scraping action of Gua Sha can help improve the appearance of the skin by promoting circulation and lymphatic drainage, resulting in a brighter, more radiant complexion.
