Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese healing technique that involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to stimulate circulation and promote the flow of Qi (vital energy). Typically applied to the back, neck, shoulders, or face, Gua Sha helps release tension, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural detoxification process. While it may leave temporary red or purple marks, these are considered part of the therapeutic effect and usually fade within a few days. Gua Sha is commonly used to relieve muscle pain, boost immunity, and improve skin health, especially in facial rejuvenation treatments.
