Gua Sha

Treatment Description

Gua sha is a form of TCM therapy that involves scraping the skin with a smooth tool, such as a ceramic spoon or jade tool, to promote circulation and reduce inflammation. The gentle pressure applied during gua sha can help to break up stagnation and improve the flow of qi, leading to a reduction in pain, improvement in skin complexion, and reduced symptoms of colds and flu. Gua sha is often used in combination with other TCM modalities, such as acupuncture and herbal medicine, for a holistic approach to health and wellness.
