What Is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha or scraping has had a long history in Traditional Chinese Medicine in China.
Gua Sha
Unlike acupuncture it is a non-invasive procedure that can be performed in the clinical setting. It is the art and practice of rubbing the skin with an implement that will increase blood circulation at that localised area, removes blood stagnation considered pathogenic, promoting normal circulation and metabolic processes. With Gua Sha the patient experiences immediate relief from pain, stiffness, fever, chill, cough, nausea, and so on.
