In this episode, I’m highlighting insights on what, when and how to do facial gua sha. Gua sha is a natural, alternative Traditional Chinese Therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. In gua sha, a technician scrapes your skin with short or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue, which increases blood flow. There are many tools you can try but I have a few favorites and this is something you can do for yourself at home or with some help.
