The Gua Sha is a traditional Eastern Healing technique, dating back about 3000 years using stone or porcelain object to release toxins and stimulate blood flow.

We employ this technique to release toxins and relieve pain in tired/ sore, injured muscles as well as reduce inflammation. By ‘scraping’ (with repeated strokes on surface of skin) the Gua Sha helps stimulate new blood flow and draw out stagnation in the problem areas to help generate metabolic cell repair and healing.

After a Gua Sha body session, we advise you not to bathe for at least 4 hours.

The technique practiced in Traditional Chinese medicine, uses the ergonomic shaped jade stone to “scrape” along meridians with some pressure. This is to remove stagnation, and ailments caused by the blocked chi, releasing them up to the surface as seen by redness and some bruising to skin. This only temporary, marks will dissipate in one to three days to a week.

Everyone’s tolerance to pain is different. Some may feel it is ‘good pain’ and enjoy the sensation. Others with more sensitive skin may find the pressure could be a little intense. No matter what, everyone raves about how relaxed and and revitalized they are after their session.

Our experienced Gua Sha Therapist using a variety of gua sha tools, applies the just the right amount pressure for each individual’s body. The movements for the body usually go deeper and the skin may become red. This is an indication that toxins are being released. This will diminish over time and means your body's blood circulation is increasing.

When the gua sha technique is applied on your face, the pressure is more gentle with slight firmness. The tool is used in a gliding motion across acupressure points on the face, neck, jawline and scalp to increase blood flow and stimulate the body's healthy Chi.

Heated stones are also employed to remove ‘dampness’ - the cause of stagnation. Toxins which causes the abdomen area to be bloated, are released. You will feel less pressure in this area. Regular Gua Sha on the stomach area as well as tightening exercises at home can help provide visible results.
