Gua Sha Stones
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.

Tissue congestion is the leading concern of poor circulation. The skin thrives on productivity. Creating an environment encouraging normal cellular growth is the long-term goal.
If the skin has poor circulation, also known as “Qi (chi) blocking” prevents the skin from a healthy response. The lack of nutrients, water, and essential lipids (food) may cause a drastic change in the skin’s performance. It may play a role in compromising the skin’s immunity. The immunity line of the defense is extremely important not only to the skin’s health but to the entire body.
Gua Sha massage movements increase the behavior of skin performance. Moving blood stimulates the lymph pumping system. The lymph bathes the cells and is a wall of defense against antigens a.k.a invaders that could potentially harm the health of cells.
