Gua sha is a thousand-year-old scraping massage that is part of traditional Chinese medicine. It is used to treat tension and pain in muscles caused by circulatory disorders and in the treatment of certain medical conditions.
In Chinese, 'Gua' means to scratch or create friction on the surface. "sha" describes the eczema-like marks that appear on the scraped area. A person may have more or less "sha", depending on the extent of stagnation/swelling present in the body. Common places to find 'sha' are at the neck/shoulders/back/arm.
Many benefits
The benefits of the massage are many: we start the circulation of stagnant blood, increase circulation to the skin and muscles, dissolve the body's toxic waste products (waste products in the tissue that cause pain) and bring new blood to the stagnant tissue. Gua sha has an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effect and increases the enzyme Ho-1, which in addition to its analgesic effect also protects cells against oxidative stress.
The massage is usually very effective for stiff and sore muscles, pain, respiratory problems, digestive problems, sleep disorders, headaches, sciatica, back pain, tennis elbow, etc.
