GUA SHA: A Modern Approach to Ancient Rituals
Gua sha has been practiced in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. Gua sha sculpting tools encourage the gentle release of facial + jaw tension through acupressure. Rose quartz has calming properties and aids in meditation and reflection. It is known as the stone of love.
The Benefits of Using a Gua Shua:
Designed specifically for more precise work and a deeper massage, this tool can help:
Sculpt facial features like the cheeks
Drain puffiness from the face
Melt facial tension through acupressure points
Release jaw tension
How to Use a Gua Shua for Optimal Benefits:
Always start with clean skin that has been prepped with skincare products. Use your favorite Facial Massage Balm to ensure that tools can glide on the skin without pulling.
Use the rounded spoon side to gently sculpt the face, focusing underneath the cheekbone. The specialized, rounded shape of the gua sha spoon allows for a deeper release.
Use the smaller end of the tool on acupressure trigger points, focusing on the areas near the brow bone, the temples, the ears and along the jaw. Massage in small, slow circles into the trigger points.
Breathe deeply and feel the tension melt away.
