Guasha literally means the "scraping" (gua) of the skin, where red spots (sha) resulting from stagnant energy may become visible. This scraping is done with a jade stone. In Guasha Facial Massage, Guasha techniques are used specifically on the head, face, neck and décolletage to keep the skin naturally radiant and youthful.
The Guasha Facial Massage also aims to improve the blood and lymph circulation of the face and stimulate the production of collagen. The quality of the skin improves and waste products are removed. The treatment gives the skin a healthy colour and the firming of the connective tissue provides a younger and fresher appearance.
By stimulating the acupuncture points on the meridians in the face, the treatment also has a positive effect on overall health. Furthermore, the Guasha Facial Massage is wonderfully relaxing. Guasha is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Guasha body Massage, such as back, neck and shoulder massage
Guasha is also extremely effective in a body massage, such as a back, neck and shoulder massage.
Many people suffer from back, neck and shoulder complaints. In recent times, when many people have been forced to work at home because of Corona, these complaints have increased considerably. Good posture at home is often lacking and a dining room chair is not a properly adjusted office chair. But stress and tension can also take hold in the upper back, making the muscles stiffer, reducing mobility and causing complaints such as headaches. Guasha has a suction effect, bringing waste products to the surface (down to the connective tissue level) and then draining through the body. The beauty of guasha is that it is very clear where exactly the stagnation is located. This spot becomes deeper red. By giving this spot or zone extra treatment, the stagnation is additionally addressed which will reduce the complaints.
