Gua Sha

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese healing technique in which a smooth-edged tool is used to stroke the skin while applying pressure. This practice raises small, red, rash-like dots known as petechiae, which indicate improved circulation and the release of toxins from the body. Gua Sha is particularly effective for alleviating chronic pain, easing muscle tension, and addressing symptoms of flu and colds by promoting overall wellness and stimulating the body's natural healing processes.

In our integrative approach, Gua Sha is not typically used as a standalone treatment. Instead, it is often combined with other therapies to enhance its benefits. Common complementary treatments include acupuncture and cosmetic acupuncture. This combination approach helps to address a broader range of health concerns, from pain management to skin rejuvenation, providing a comprehensive and holistic treatment experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can Gua Sha treat?

Gua Sha can help alleviate muscle pain, colds, flu symptoms, and allergies. In cosmetic treatments, it is used for lifting and sculpting the face.

We use a non-porous soup spoon, which is cleaned thoroughly between patients, rather than the traditional Gua Sha tools often seen in the media.

Is this method added on to every treatment?

Yes, Gua Sha is typically used as part of an integrative approach, blended with therapies where it is deemed beneficial or on request, such as in cosmetic acupuncture and standard acupuncture sessions.
