Gua Sha (gua - scraping, sha - toxins) is a technique that has been used in Chinese Medicine for thousands of years that involves a gentle scraping-like motion along the skin with a gua sha tool. It addresses facial tension and adhesions, clears blockages, flushes stagnant waste and helps stimulate blood circulation to bring nutrients to the skin to reveal a vibrant, smooth, plump & firm complexion.

Which gua sha do I choose?

Rainbow Fluorite: a highly protective gemstone that boosts self-confidence, reduces stress, improves concentration and strengthens intuition. It encourages gratitude, transforms negative energy into positive energy, and blocks electromagnetic pollution.

Clear Crystal Quartz: the purest and most powerful crystal, known as the master healing stone. It calms, cleanses, detoxifies and balances energies in the body and skin. The powerful healing energy in the Clear Quartz stimulates the immune system and helps with memory and concentration.

Rainbow Obsidian: a grounding and protective stone that draws negative energy out of the body, alleviates fear, resentment and stress. It encourages gratification and optimism, provides support in grief, helps heal a broken heart and provides an abundance of love and happiness.

Mookaite Jasper: a nurturing stone that supports and sustains during times of stress. It brings peace, a feeling of wholeness, increases self-confidence, self-worth and helps to realize one’s full potential. Mookaite helps with decision making, to encourage versatility and accept change.
