Gua Sha Therapy + add on

Gua sha delivers impressive sculpting and tension-relieving results at a budget-friendly price point. While it may seem new to many of us, gua sha dates back to the Paleolithic Age and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Now widely recognized for its beauty benefits, the practice of gua sha began as a full body treatment for illness, disease and acupuncture therapy, where a flat stone (or other tool like a coin or spoon) was used to scrape across the skin to relieve pain and inflammation by bringing bloodflow to the area.

Traditionally, the gua sha tool was made from jade or bian stone, but, given the tool's immense popularity, there are now varieties ranging from rose quartz to stainless steel. According to Byrdie, it’s important to consider the shape of the gua sha, as it should be comfortable to grip and complement the natural contours of the face. Look for one with multiple angles and divots to allow for smooth gliding along the neck, jawline, cheekbones and under the eyes.
