Gua sha

Gua Sha is a natural, alternative therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation and release stagnant blood and toxins. Gua Sha is used most often used on the upper back and neck area to ease muscle stiffness and tension.

Benefits of Gua Sha

Most people use gua sha as a treatment for common conditions such as a cold, flu, headache, asthma, bronchitis, and both chronic and acute pain. It’s also used to stimulate the immune system, detoxify the body, and release fevers, as the scraping brings excess heat and toxins to the surface of the skin.

Cupping is available. Please ask if you’re interested or if you feel it’s more appropriate than Gua Sha.
