Gua Sha - A method of massaging gemstones

Traditional Chinese therapy involves taking a smooth instrument with rounded edges, usually gemstones, rubbing on the skin to stimulate circulation and blood circulation.

An ancient Chinese female royal family massages Gua Sha with precious stones like rose quartz and jade.Gua Sha massage means "shaving the healing wind" , which means shaving on the surface of the skin to eliminate the bad energy that traditional medicine considers to be the cause of disease and other pains. Scraping is mainly done on the back, neck, legs, arms or buttocks. The smooth movements on the skin will promote the toxin to escape. The red marks appear after shaving the wind but will fade after a few days. The method of shaving the wind is also very popular in Vietnam.
