Description
Chinese facial massage Gua Sha (scrape off deseases) is an ancient technique of rejuvenation and healing by stimulating certain points with Bian stones.
Beaty (rejuvenating) Gua Sha massage, when performed correctly, corresponds to the reflexogenic zones of the face and bioenergy channels and promotes:
- improving lymph flow and blood circulation of the face, eliminating congestion;
- facial skin rejuvenation;
- increased production of antioxidants;
- relieving vasospasm, headaches, fatigue and nervousness;
- stress reduction
Scraping therapy is one of the most ancient forms of medicine in East Asia. Guasha in China dates back 5,000 years and has its origins with the use of bian stones. Bian stones were made from a variety of materials to scrape, rub, or cut parts of the body for therapeutic effects.
During the 20th century, gua sha continued to evolve and became increasingly recognized as a valuable healing method. In the 1950s, the Chinese government established traditional Chinese medicine schools and hospitals, which helped promote gua sha and other traditional healing practices.
Today, Guasha has been adopted by many Western health practitioners and celebrities. Guasha is often used in combination with other techniques such as acupuncture and acupressure because it promotes relaxation, reduces stress and improves skin condition.
