In ancient times, a coin was often used to conduct the Gua Sha treatment. It is now replaced by a Gua Sha board especially designed for the purpose. The board must be disinfected before use. In the process of scraping, the board should be placed at a 40-90 degree angle against the skin, starting from the neck, to the back, abdomen, upper limbs and lower limbs. The scraping direction is from above downward and from within outward in the chest.

Gua Sha Treatment

Gua Sha Treatment
Gua Sha Treatment
Gua Sha is a folk physiotherapy based on traditional Chinese medicine theories. According to the TCM theory of ¡°the twelve channels and eight extra meridians¡±, Gua Sha is performed on certain parts of the skin by scraping with a tool to stimulate the main and collateral channels. This may result in sub-cutaneous blemishing, which will help dredge meridians, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
