According to TCM theory, Gua Sha helps regulate the balance of Qi and blood in the body, promoting smooth energy flow and overall wellness. Whilst Gua Sha is widely practiced in many cultures and often praised as an effective natural therapy, it should be performed with care.
The pressure and technique should always be applied by an experienced practitioner to prevent skin irritation or overstimulation. Individual factors must also be considered, as this therapy may not be suitable for everyone, including those with sensitive skin or bleeding disorders. Consulting a qualified TCM practitioner beforehand ensures the treatment’s safety and suitability.
