Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese natural therapy (it’s over 2,000 years old!) similar to massage. But instead of using their hands, practitioners use special tools to scrape the skin of the back, buttocks, arms, legs, and sometimes the face.
During the treatment, practitioners use many of the same long downward strokes as a regular massage to stimulate circulation and increase blood flow—a process that manipulates natural energy, or chi, to improve your body’s overall health.
