Gua Sha is one of the oldest practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine and helps to flush out toxins and treat congestion of the blood by vigorously rubbing on the skin to increase blood flow, helping to break down hardness in the facial muscles. In essence, Gua Sha stimulates the lymphatic system and works on the external body to heal an internal imbalance, making your glow from within!
The Gua Sha tool has a smooth edge and is firmly scraped against the oiled skin, along the meridian pathways. This process produces “Sha”, a distinctive reddening of the skin, which is a release of heat and inflammation, dampness and pain from the deeper levels of the body.
Nephrite Jade is said to bless whatever it touches and was traditionally considered the best stone for healing the body in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine).
There are many Gua Sha tools on the market with only a few available made from genuine Jade. These beautifully crafted pieces are hand shaped in small batches by artisans in Eastern Russia from high quality green Nephrite Jade.Physically, it is a very hard, nonporous stone that will last a lifetime with proper care.
Cleanse your face in the shower (morning or night). Apply your face cream or serum and gently glide across the skin making sure to keep the tool flat against the face. Do this repeatedly for about one minute until the face is blushing red.
