What are the Benefits of Gua Sha?

Gua Sha rituals are an ancient East Asian and Chinese healing technique that has become increasingly popular in recent years. This traditional practice involves using a smooth, credit-card-sized board to press along the skin of the face and neck to promote better circulation, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin health. 

This type of therapy can help reduce wrinkles, improve skin tone, and even out discoloration when performed correctly. In addition to these aesthetic benefits, this type of therapy has numerous other advantages, such as reducing stress and tension in the facial muscles, improving lymphatic drainage for a more youthful appearance, and providing an overall sense of relaxation.

At Massage Studio KC in Kansas City, we offer Gua Sha as part of our extensive range of therapeutic add-on services when you book a massage appointment with us. Our massage therapists use gentle pressure with the board to stimulate circulation around the face and neck area for optimal results. We believe that everyone should experience the incredible benefits of this traditional healing technique!

Reduce Swelling and Puffiness Around Your Eyes and Face With Lymphatic Drainage

One key benefit of regular Gua Sha therapy is improved lymphatic drainage, which can help reduce puffiness around the eyes. This helps flush out toxins from your body while also reducing inflammation in your face. The scraping motion used during this treatment is also believed to stimulate facial meridians (energy channels found throughout the body), which can be beneficial for making people feel and look more youthful. Plus, it increases blood flow, ultimately giving you an extra boost of healthy glow!
