Gua Sha is scraping of your skin with a smooth tool, to produce redness in order to improve energy flow and release pain in the body. Gua means to rub or scrape and Sha is the reddening of the skin. Gua Sha therapy has been practiced consistently for thousands of years. At our Gua Sha Therapy Blue Mountains retreat we use Oriental diagnosis so we can treat actual conditions with Gua Sha.
