Gua Sha Therapy

Holistic Healing Through Ancient Wisdom

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese healing technique where a smooth-edged tool is gently scraped along the skin to release tension, improve circulation, and promote detoxification. The name translates to "scraping sand"—referring to the light red or purple marks (sha) that appear, signaling the release of stagnation.
