What is Gua Sha?

Gua Sha is a traditional health and beauty tool from ancient China. It is used to gently scrape the skin to increase micro-circulation and improve lymphatic drainage.

What is the history of Gua Sha?

Gua sha has long been a folk therapy widely used by the ancient Chinese. In the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the treatment was systematically written into major medical records.

The Origins of Bian Stone.

Bian stone is said to emit ultrasound pulsations, far infrared rays, and negative ions, all of which are known for their antioxidant and anti-aging effects on our cells and DNA. It contains more than 40 minerals known to benefit overall health. It's also known to cleanse the aura and balance the energy body.

When rubbed against the body, the stone gives out ultrasonic impulses, with measurements that are far in excess of other tested materials.

Bian stones allows for heated therapy, which is often used in hot stone massage, can be employed as a precursor to acupuncture, utilized in gua sha or facial gua sha.

How to clean my Gua Sha Stone?

For personal use, we recommend soap and water. For obvious reasons, proper cleanliness is especially necessary if the Gua Sha is being used in clinics/spas and on a variety of different people. Adding an isopropyl alcohol spray and UV sanitizer to the process can do a great deal to increase the effectiveness of the cleansing, keeping things sanitary, and ensuring that the integrity of the treatment process is properly maintained for all of your clients.

Why this Gua Sha Stone design?

Do you need to use my stone with an oil?

As the Gua Sha has to scrape smoothly across the skin in most cases you will use some form of oil as part of the treatment.

We recommend our BALDONA Body Oil. This oil works well with our Gua Sha Stone to help release stagnant lymph that can cause inflammation. This oil is 100% natural. No essential oils. No fragrances. No preservatives. JUST PLANTS.
