How is a Gua Sha treatment done?
During a Gua Sha session, a practitioner applies a lubricant (like oil or lotion) to your skin. Then, they gently scrape a smooth tool, usually made of jade, crystal, or cooper, over the area. The practitioner will use specific strokes along your muscles or energy channels to help release tension and promote healing.
Is Gua Sha painful?
Gua Sha shouldn’t be too painful, but it may cause slight discomfort or temporary bruising. Some people feel a scraping sensation that can be soothing. The practitioner will adjust the pressure to make sure you’re comfortable and that the treatment is within your tolerance level.
Are there any risks or side effects with Gua Sha?
Gua Sha is generally safe when performed by a trained practitioner. However, some people may experience temporary skin discoloration, bruising, or tenderness in the treated areas.
