The Steps of Gua Sha


Step 1
It’s essential to apply a suitably thick balm, ointment, or oil to the skin. It will help to reduce discomfort to the skin, nourish and restore the tissues being treated, and help the skin to release toxins.

Step 2
Start scraping the local skin in a single direction, usually from the top down or the middle of the body to the sides; The amount of force varies from light to heavy, depending on how much you can accept it.

Step 3
After a while a particular kind of marking -grainy red- starts to appear under the skin, then stop scraping. Drink a cup of warm water after treatment. Don’t bathe or shower within three hours.

NOTE
The next scraping of the same part generally needs to be spaced three days, until the skin redness disappears. (As this takes place, hemoglobin is broken down.)

The Origin of Gua Sha
Gua sha (scraping) has been a traditional therapy for at least 2000 years in some Asian countries such as China. In the Paleolithic Age, when people were injured, sick, or felt pain, they instinctively scraped the body parts with their hands or stone tablets, which turned out to be able to relieve pain and cure diseases. Later, it evolved into a systematic physiotherapy method -- gua sha. Gradually, because gua sha is effective, inexpensive, and can be self-treatment at home at any time, it was widely spread by the folk.

Nowadays, scientific studies have begun to investigate what happens in the body during and after a gua sha, and the benefits have been verified. It’s still a common physiotherapy method used by many families.

Does Gua Sha Hurt?
Gua sha isn’t supposed to be painful at all. If you use the wrong kind of scraping instrument or lubrication you might end up breaking the skin – and that can be painful. With the proper care it is normally less painful than a deep tissue massage. (And the benefits are more profound, and last longer.)

Is Guasha Dangerous?
After a gua sha treatment, the skin exhibits red, which looks like bruising. If you don’t know gua sha you might mistakenly assume the person has been beaten. But that’s far from the truth. These markings are a good and healthy thing - it’s part of the body’s therapeutic response to the treatment and a sign that the body is getting rid of toxins, which typically subside in 72 hours.
