The name Gua Sha comes from the Chinese word for scraping. A natural, alternative therapy involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to help to stimulate blood circulation, bringing oxygen and blood flow to the upper layer of the skin, promoting healing and recovery of damaged skin. This action causes light bruising and redness, which is normal.

Apart from contouring your face with Gua Sha, this multifaceted tool is also known to reduce inflammation and aches. In traditional Chinese medicine, jade is believed to carry healing energy, bring in prosperity and luck.
