Body Gua Sha is a natural alternative therapy with a massage tool to scrape your skin to improve circulation. This ancient Chinese healing technique might help with chronic pain. During a Gua Sha session, a technician scrapes your skin with short or long strokes to boost blood flow. They use a smooth-edged Gua massage tool and apply massage oil to your skin. The technician then scrapes your skin in a downward motion repeatedly. Gua Sha can reduce inflammation, so it’s often used for conditions that cause chronic pain, like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and muscle and joint pain. It might also help with insomnia, irregular periods, anxiety, fatigue, hot flashes, facial tics, throat clearing, vocal outbursts, chronic liver inflammation, chronic neck pain, and breast engorgement from breastfeeding.
