Gua Sha (pronounced gwa-sha) is a traditional healing practice that originated in ancient China, with written records dating back as early as the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD).

The term “Gua” means “to scrape” and “Sha” refers to the red, sand-like marks that can appear on the skin during body treatments—signs that stagnant energy is being released by increasing blood flow to the area.

Historically, Gua Sha was used as a tool in Traditional Chinese Medicine to move stagnant Qi (life force energy) and blood, reduce inflammation, and support the body during illnesses such as fever or respiratory distress. It was commonly performed on the back, neck, and limbs using smooth-edged tools made of bone, jade, or ceramic.

In more recent years, Gua Sha has been adapted for facial use, where lighter, more refined techniques are used to enhance circulation, release muscular tension, smooth adhesions in fascia and support lymphatic flow. Though the facial application is a modern evolution, it remains deeply connected to its traditional roots in East Asian medicine and holistic healing philosophy.

By practicing facial Gua Sha today, we honour an ancient lineage of medicine and bodywork that views health as a balance of energy, movement, and connection between the inner and outer self.
