Gua Sha — Why It Helps Skin & Nervous System

Gua sha is an ancient TCM scraping technique that’s become a modern ritual for circulation, de-puffing, and nervous-system care. Practiced on the face with light upward strokes, it helps move lymph, improve local blood flow, and release facial tension — all of which create a softer, brighter complexion and a calmer nervous system.

Quick science: research shows gua sha increases microcirculation at the treated site — that local increase in blood flow likely contributes to reduced muscle pain and improved skin tone. PubMed

How to use it at home (light & safe):

apply oil, stroke upward and outward along jaw, cheeks, brow lines for 5–10 minutes; avoid broken skin. In the spa, gua sha is integrated into longer rituals for deeper lymphatic drainage and nervous-system regulation.
