What is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha (刮痧), also known as scraping therapy, is a traditional healing technique deeply rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). During this therapy, a smooth-edged tool is used to gently scrape your skin in controlled strokes, stimulating microcirculation and improving blood flow.
