Gua Sha

Gua sha is a traditional Chinese beauty treatment that involves massaging the skin with a rounded tool made of materials like jade or rose quartz. It is believed to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and treat muscle pain and tightness by applying pressure. While it may cause temporary redness or bruising, gua sha is said to dramatically improve the skin and provide relief for issues like migraines and neck pain. It works by draining toxins from the skin and carrying nutrients to promote healing, lifting, and brightening of the complexion.
