According to WikiPedia: Gua sha or kerokan, is part of traditional Chinese medicine in which a tool is used to scrape people's skin in order to produce light petechiae. Practitioners believe that gua sha releases unhealthy bodily matter from blood stasis within sore, tired, stiff or injured muscle areas to stimulate new oxygenated blood flow to the areas, thus promoting metabolic cell repair, regeneration, healing and recovery
In gua sha, you use short or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue, which increases blood flow. You can put some type of massage oil on your skin, and then use the tool to repeatedly to scrape your skin in a downward motion. It can be used anywhere on the body, but on the face it takes a more gentle approach.
You can use it for your jaw line, to make it thinner. After the first time using it, your skin looks smoother and more lifted after one session. With gua sha, you give yourself a facial at home, work, or on vacation. You get a nice treatment without toxins, without chemicals, and without having to keep buying expensive treatments at your Dermatoligist.
According to Women's Health: “You can start doing a gua sha practice on a budget without using the fanciest materials, but it is important to be aware that the market is being flooded with fake tools.” Using materials, like a dyed acrylic, has the potential to lead to skin irritation, so triple-check exactly what it’s made of before adding it to your cart.
