This is the traditional gua sha I grew up with—it’s ancient Chinese treatment, and yes, I know it’s gotten popular lately in the beauty world, but this is the gua sha I know! It may look a little intense, but I promise it doesn’t hurt and the relief is instant. It’s incredible for easing tension, stress, and seasonal colds. Usually, someone else does it for you, but since I don’t have anyone nearby who knows how, I’ve been doing it myself for years. Every few months, or whenever I’m feeling extra stressed or like I’m coming down with something, gua sha makes me feel totally reset. Honestly, I’ve been hesitant to share this since it can look kind of intimidating, but this practice means a lot to me. It reminds me of my aunt—the amazing woman who raised me and taught me how to do this as a kid. Sharing this feels like a small way to honor her and my roots.🫶🏼 guasha ancientchinesemedicine
