PT: Gua Sha Secrets: Sculpting, Toning, and Releasing Tension

We carry an immense amount of tension in our jaw, forehead, and neck muscles, which restricts circulation and can make our skin appear dull and tired.

Gua Sha is an ancient East Asian medical practice that uses a flat jade or rose quartz stone to gently scrape the skin. This stimulates microcirculation, drains accumulated lymphatic fluid, and relaxes muscular knots.

“A complete step-by-step masterclass on utilizing jade scrapers to promote lymphatic drainage and restore facial posture.”

Always start by preparing the skin with a rich facial oil to allow the stone to glide effortlessly without pulling. Hold the tool at a 15-degree angle and sweep from the center of the face outwards, with very light pressure.

Just five minutes of this focused, manual practice each evening not only tones facial contours but also acts as a deep nervous system release to prepare you for restorative sleep.
