In Asian communities, this technique is used as a homemade treatment, but, at frst, it may be seen with suspicion by people unfamiliar to the technique, because of the transient marks left behind, and even mistaken for abus. Its first description dates back to the end of the Han Dynasty (220 AD), and from the perspective of the TCM, it is able to remove impurities from injured tissues from blood stagnation and facilitate the arrival of oxygenated “Fresh Blood “, promoting healing at the cellular level.

The mechanical press-stroke movement enhances surface microcirculation in the skin tissue and induces the expansion of capillaries, including the blood vessels and lymphatic vasculature (Nielsen et al., 2007). Gua Sha treatment enhances microcirculation, more rapid substance exchange occurs among the blood, lymphatic fluid, interstitial fluid, and the infiltrated immune active cells. This changes the microenvironment of the treated skin tissue. The increased blood and lymphatic flow leads to more rapid substance and cell exchange among blood, interstitial fluid, and lymphatic fluid.  HOW TO USE GUA SHA ON THE FACE?
