Gua Sha

Gua Sha employs healthy, natural oils, such as olive oil, coconut oil, and essential oils to rub the skin across the body’s meridian lines. In Chinese medicine energy moves through the body along these meridians or energy lines. When energy, blood, or lymph circulation is blocked, health deteriorates and so Gua Sha stimulates these areas dialating the blood vessels and improving circulation. As circulation improves, the body naturally detoxifies itself and the immune and digestive systems work more efficiently.

In classical Chinese medicine, Gua Sha was used to treat the following disorders:

    * Reduce fever (the technique was used to treat cholera)
    * Treat fatigue caused by exposure to heat or cold
    * Cough and dyspnea: bronchitis, asthma, emphysema
    * Treat muscle and tendon injuries.
    * Push sluggish circulation, fibromyalgia
    * Treat headache
    * Treat sunstrokes / heat syncope and nausea
    * Treat stiffness, pain, immobility
    * Treat digestive disorders
    * Treat urinary, gynecological disorders

While often used to treat these specific disorders it is also used preventively to keep the body functioning smoothly as well. For more information or to book your session call 6431-3164.
