Gua Sha is a treatment that releases harmful elements from the skin and promotes healing. Gua Sha works by gently scraping lubricated skin to create slight bruises. It is most commonly performed with Gua Sha tools, which can be made from materials including jade, rose quartz, or basalt, and they come in a variety of forms.
Gua Sha is often performed on different parts of the skin, on the body or on the face.
