Gua Sha And Some Of Its Unique Benefits
2
Introduction

• Gua Shas health benefits have been widely
  publicised in recent years. Gua Sha tools are
  applied to the face or body for an effective
  anti-ageing facial, to potentially reduce acne,
  ease pain and muscle tension, and even lessen the
  appearance of cellulite, and are ostensibly loved
  by celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Elle
  McPherson for its anti-ageing qualities, and used
  by Justin Bieber to ease neck pain.

How Does Gua Sha Work?

• Gua Sha is a type of massage that involves
  rubbing the skin with oil and a smooth-edged tool
  along the meridian line on the face or torso. It
  increases circulation by up to 400, causes
  microdamage, enhances collagen, and stimulates
  the lymphatic and immunological systems,
  according to research. While many of us are
  familiar with Gua Sha facials, its applications
  are much broader. The Gua Sha body massage tool
  is a popular treatment among my customers because
  it relieves tightness in the neck and shoulders,
  as well as tension in the jaw and face.

There Are 5 Major Benefits Of Using A Gua Sha
Tool
5
Grounding Ritual

• The skill of Gua Sha is immensely grounding,
  whether you are receiving therapy from a
  professional or practising on your own. Our
  parasympathetic (relaxed) nervous system is
  instantly activated by the moderate tempo of
  movement and gentle touch. When were feeling
  grounded in our bodies and calm in our minds, we
  can handle emotional issues or obstacles that
  come our way more easily with self-awareness and
  ease. Gua Sha is transformed into a really
  stress-relieving and grounding ritual when it is
  used as a medium to tune in to ourselves more
  fully.

Tension Reduction

• We carry a lot of strain on our faces and necks.
  Deep pressure applied with a Gua Sha stone may
  truly get into sticky knotted places, releasing
  retained muscular tension and allowing muscles to
  fulfil their supportive jobs appropriately. When
  you add Gua Sha into your self-care regimen on a
  regular basis, youll notice a significant
  reduction in tension. TMJ and headache sufferers
  may find this to be a useful tool. Light
  expression lines can be prevented and faded by
  relaxing our facial muscles on a regular basis.

7
Detoxifying

• Gua Sha can be used to clear blockages in
  meridian channels, which connect our organs
  together and transport both blood and chi (life
  force). Our channels need to be clear in order to
  work harmoniously and for chi to flow well
  throughout the body. If an organ is not
  functioning properly, the channel could be
  blocked and vice versa. We can clear the
  channel of blockages by scraping the Gua Sha tool
  along with it. Gua Sha imparts a truly holistic
  effect on the body. This manual movement
  stimulates our lymphatic system, helping our
  organs function optimally by breaking up
  stagnation and flowing debris and toxins within
  the body for easier expulsion.

Natural Facelift

• The unique edges of various Gua Sha stones work
  perfectly to lift, sculpt and tighten the skin.
  Regular use can prevent the signs of ageing such
  as sagging, dull and wrinkled skin. Since Gua Sha
  helps stimulate circulation, the technique itself
  oxygenates and carries nutrients to the skin
  cells. The increased blood flow resulting from
  Gua Sha contributes to a more lively, plumped up
  and youthful appearance.

Glowing Skin

• No flow, no glow! Gua Sha increases circulation
  and improves lymphatic function, resulting in a
  naturally dewy, glowing complexion. The action of
  gently scraping the Gua Sha tool across the skin
  aids in serum/moisturizer product penetration, so
  those juicy phytonutrients go deeper into the
  layers of skin to feed us even more hydration.
  Gua Sha can also be used to prevent and clear
  acne, decongesting the skin and lessening
  inflammation.

Conclusion

• When traditional therapy fails to alleviate your
  symptoms, evidence reveals that Gua Sha may be a
  viable option.
• Gua Sha is utilised to cure a variety of ailments
  and problems, but just a few particular medical
  conditions have been studied. To determine
  whether Gua Sha is a successful treatment, more
  research is required.
• Gua Sha has few major adverse effects, however,
  it might be uncomfortable for some people. If you
  want to have body Gua Sha, make sure you go to a
  professional who has done it before.
