Gua Sha Stones with Nourishing Oil: Summer Energy Skin Treatment

The Gua Sha Stones technique is used to unblock and restore the flow of Qi. According to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Qi (chi) is balanced energy throughout the body. To open the Qi is to improve the flow to relieve discomfort and in some cases muscle pain.

Gua means scraping and Sha means redness. However, when using it for lymphatic drainage of the face and neck it is best to manipulate and perform smooth movements.

Made from aventurine crystal. Aventurine is among the rarest of the quartz varieties. Therapists seek out this stone for its aesthetic beauty and for its balance and harmony.

The movements of gua sha help relieve puffiness, fluid, and inflammation from the body. It is important to use light rhythmic movements when performing lymph drainage. Lymph vessels are very surface to the skin.

There are superficial and deep lymph vessels. The vessels that we manipulate are in the skin whereas the vessels are present within the dermis. Use light rhythmic movement to move lymph and drain.

Incorporate microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, oxygen infusion, and LED light with Gua Sha Stone Massage. Furthermore, use Gua Sha as a stand-alone skin treatment. Estheticians and spa therapists will love the healthy skin results.

Gua Sha assists the body with elimination. Tissue congestion can be environmental, diet, or too much fun in the sun.
