Gua sha is a traditional East Asian healing technique that involves scraping the skin to release toxins from the blood, stimulate circulation, relieve pain and congestion, and promote healing of injuries and illness.

Gua sha is intended to address stagnant energy, called chi, in the body that practitioners believe may be responsible for inflammation. Inflammation is the underlying cause of several conditions associated with chronic pain. Rubbing the skin’s surface is thought to help break up this energy, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Gua sha is generally performed on a person’s back, buttocks, neck, arms, and legs. A gentle version of it is even used on the face as a facial technique
