What is Gua Sha?

It’s seems to be all the rage these days in the skin care and holistic realm. The first time I used a gua sha stone, I’m pretty sure my tension just completely melted away and I felt like a brand new woman. I had been sleeping on this beauty and self-care routine for far too long.

This practice originated from Chinese medicine as a lymphatic drainage massage. Your lymphatic system is apart of your immune system in that is fights germs moving through out your body, filters out waste and moves it to your liver for detoxification, and other pathogens. So not only does using a gua sha stone help your skin, but it also builds a strong immune system. The stone helps eliminate and move the fluid away from the bags under your eyes, helps open up blood vessels for better circulation.

From a health prospective, these are the benefits of using a gua sha stone:

  • Improves recovery from illnesses

  • Relieves stress

  • Relieves tension

  • Inhibits scar formation

  • Removes excess waste from your tissues

  • Beneficial for detox pathways

  • Helps reduce dryness of skin

  • Boost immune system

  • Improves your nervous system

From a healthy skin prospective the gua sha stone supports:

  • Healthy looking skin

  • Reduces signs of aging

  • Improves collagen production

  • Improves skin elasticity

This stone will hands down knock your socks off. One simple tool, while also pairing it with a fabulous facial oil (CBD version here) will make all the difference! What I loved and noticed immediately was how quickly my jaw unclenched and how radiant my skin looked. If you want to take it a step further, make sure you’re drinking your water with electrolytes and your skin will make a night and day difference.
