What is Guasha Therapy?

Guasha is an ancient healing technique that involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to stimulate blood circulation, release muscle tension, and promote healing. This technique, used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), helps to break up stagnation, increase oxygenated blood flow, and encourage the body’s natural detoxification process.

  • Non-invasive & drug-free
  • Relieves muscle tightness & pain
  • Improves circulation & lymphatic flow
  • Supports the body’s natural healing process

How Does Guasha Work?

Guasha works by applying controlled pressure with a specialized tool over areas of tension and stagnation. The process stimulates microcirculation, helping the body:

  • Release tight fascia & muscle knots
  • Reduce inflammation & swelling
  • Improve blood and lymphatic circulation
  • Enhance the body’s ability to heal naturally

 

Many people describe Guasha as a deep, relieving sensation, similar to trigger point therapy or deep tissue massage, but with longer-lasting effects.
