What Is Gua Sha?

Gua Sha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to promote circulation and break up stagnation. This method encourages detoxification, releases muscular tension, and stimulates natural healing responses in the body. The therapy often leaves red or purple marks on the skin, a normal reaction known as "sha" that fades in a few days.
