Gua Sha

Gua Sha is a therapeutic technique that has been part of Traditional Chinese Medicine for hundreds of years in which a smooth flat tool is used to scrape (Gua) along the surface of the skin to produce redness (Sha). Gua Sha is used to treat pain, common cold, congestion, fever, allergies, among other things, and to encourage circulation of qi and blood throughout the meridians of the whole body. Gua Sha can be integrated into any acupuncture treatment upon request and has no additional cost to the base treatment.
