Gua Sha - Traditional Chinese Massage Stone

Every time I visit China, I make sure to get a Gua Sha massage. I’ve started practicing Gua Sha at home to continue the benefit. Using it on yourself allows you to control the pressure.  You don’t need formal training. It’s an intuitive practice that’s safe to use on your entire body, including your face and scalp.

What it Does 

This simple flat stone  helps relieve muscle tension, promotes lymphatic drainage, boosts circulation, and encourages the flow of Qi. But one of its most remarkable effects is on fascia—the connective tissue network that surrounds and supports muscles, organs, and joints.

By gently scraping the skin, Gua Sha loosens tight fascia., improving mobility and reducing stiffness. This allows for a deeper, more precise massage that enhances flexibility and overall body function.

Bian Shi stone is a special type of stone that is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for healing practices like Gua Sha. It is believed to be over 65 million years old and is formed from volcanic material and mineral deposits.

How to Use

• Apply a small amount of oil on the area you will work on.

• Use the waves of the stone as a needle to massage the connective tissues, tendons, and any pressure points that feel tender.  
• 'Scrape' the skin backwards and forwards to increase circulation. 

What you get

• 100% Bian Shi Stone 
• Protective Zen Pouch 
  

Fragile, Handle with Care. Clean with warm water and skin friendly soap. This is a natural stone. Like all stones, some chipping or scratching may appear on the stone. This does not affect the effectiveness.
