Gua Sha (pronounced GWAH SHAH) is an ancient healing techique that entails lightly scraping the skin and can:
eliminate toxins
stimulate circulation
brighten complexion
helps produce collagen
reduce puffiness
decrease inflammation
softens fine lines and wrinkles
improve blood circulation
even out skin tone
improve elasticity of the skin
promote lymphatic drainage
reduce dark under eye circles
tighten and reduce pore size
PRO TIP: For extra healing, relaxation and inflammation reduction, place the stone in the refrigerator. Amethyst are naturally cooling, but this extra temperature drop will aid in your efforts to increase circulation, drain congested lymph nodes, rid the body of toxins/waste, stimulate collagen production, help with sinus issues and balance chi.
Best Practices: Use gentle pressure and apply even strokes against your skin, preferable in the direction of lymphatic flow. Use a combination of short and long strokes across the areas that need it. Read more here.
**Gua Sha is not recommended for those with rashes, sunburns, or blood coagulation issues.
