Korean Gua Sha Body Therapy

Korean Gua Sha Body Therapy is a traditional healing technique that involves using a smooth-edged tool, often made of jade or horn, to gently scrape the skin. This action creates light petechiae (small red spots or streaks) as it brings stagnant blood and toxins to the surface. While the marks might look intense, the process is generally not painful and is believed to release muscle tension, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote lymphatic drainage. In a body therapy context, it's used to address muscle aches, stiffness, and to invigorate the body, leaving a feeling of release and improved energy flow.
