Gua sha

Yes! When gua sha is generally applied on the face, it can relieve facial tension, strengthen muscle tone, increase blood circulation and improve lymphatic drainage. Please note that at this moment, we do not provide facial gua sha.

Usually, gua sha is not painful and many find it to be relaxing. A few people have reported some minor temporary discomfort over tight knots during the treatment.

Gua sha is an effective technique to release toxins to the surface of the skin from tissues deep within.

It depends on the individual and condition. Acute symptoms may only need 1-2 treatments. We typically recommend once a week for chronic conditions. We can include gua sha into your acupuncture session. We also offer full visits that focus only on gua sha.

Gua sha is good for pain, inflammation, and immune support. Most individuals seek out gua sha for muscle tension and pain, but it can be helpful for many other conditions, such as headache, common cold, cough, and asthma.
