Gua sha (pronounced gwah-shah) is a traditional Chinese healing technique that involves sliding across the skin with a smooth-edged tool, typically made of crystal or metal. It’s used in both therapeutic and cosmetic contexts to stimulate circulation, release muscle tension, and promote overall wellbeing.
