Gua Sha
In short
Gua Sha is a Chinese technique of stroking the skin with a smooth-edged tool, gently on the face and more firmly on the body.
Explained
What Gua Sha means in TCM
A general definition, not medical advice.
On the body, traditional Gua Sha can leave temporary redness ("sha"). Facial Gua Sha uses very light pressure and is used as a soothing ritual. At Flourish, gentle facial gua sha is part of the Reiki session with Lida.
