Gua sha treatment relaxes the muscles, gets the energy and blood moving. It’s aim is to move energy, known as qi or chi, around the body. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi or chi is energy that flows through the body. A person’s qi must be balanced and flowing freely to ensure their health and well-being. It boosts the circulation. Studies show by up to 400 percent that it takes away toxins and brings in oxygen and nutrients.

Qi can become blocked, causing pain or tension in the muscles and joints. By doing gua sha, it removes this blocked energy to relieve aches or stiffness. Blood stasis or stagnation is also a cause of pain and illness. Another aim of gua sha is to move pooled or stagnated blood to relieve symptoms.
