  • Gua Sha: What is It and How Does it Work?

    Gua Sha works by applying pressure to the skin, which helps release tension and promote the flow of energy or Qi in the body which expresses itself in the form of knots, pain and or discomfort. According to traditional Chinese medicine, when Qi is blocked or stagnant, it can lead to pain, inflammation, and other health issues. Gua Sha aims to remove these blockages and restore balance to the body.
