Wat is het?
Gua Sha (刮痧), literally "scraping" of "diseases due to stagnant energy", is an ancient medical treatment still practiced in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
It is also used by the Chinese as a folk therapy, as a preventive or curative treatment.
When you give yourself a gua sha massage, you're essentially scraping all the water and lymphatic fluid under your skin toward the edges of your face, pulling it toward your neck to drain it. In addition, it sets the blood under your skin in motion, so that after a gua sha session you will emerge with wonderfully full and firm skin full of new blood.
