Gua Sha - Natural wood skin tool

Gua Sha is the practice of scraping the skin to improve circulation and move lymph.  Translated, gua means to press or stroke, and sha refers to a rash or redness though the face requires a lighter touch. Gua Sha is THE at-home tool for firmer, glowing skin. Practiced for centuries, this ancient modality sees a resurgence in popularity as many folks are discovering its benefits.

Gua Sha treatment massages the skin, and moves energy, blood, and lymph.  It increases circulation by up to 400 percent, which moves out stagnation and toxins and brings in nutrients and oxygen.  Your skin will immediately be more supple and rejuvenated.  You are also creating a controlled trauma (skin redness), which the skin starts to repair with collagen.

  This tool is ideal for use with my "Rivers" lymphatic massage oil.  This seasonally available oil is infused with Ocotillo, a plant with an affinity for the lymph system and an ally for moving stagnation.
