Gua Sha 101: Tools, Benefits, and How To Do It

You've likely seen the oddly shaped tools in your favorite beauty aisle. But what exactly are these jade disks and how can they possibly chisel your cheekbones or depuff those bags? Dr. David Vang from Restoration Center Chicago joins us now along with Yasmin Lara with the ins and outs of the ancient art of Gua Sha.

[@beadedbracelet]

Is any benefit fol curing acne using gua sha???

[@jenie9977]

I don't think so

[@vangdavid2]

It would be good to prevent acne scarring, but Chinese herbs, diet, and nutrition would be best for acne

I was wondering if you can do it on your feet or legs?

[@LRH1]

Yes

[@LRH1]

@gaphneastanislauus482 look up a book on reflexology, lympathic massage & invest in a full body tool . This is good for men & women

[@vangdavid2]

Absolutely. I've helped several with plantar fasciitis.

[@bellaklouisaevans]

Yes. There are gua sha accupuncture healing too.

[@purplerose9041]

Absolutely. Gua sha is a great tool for a quick relief of shoulder/ neck stiffness. It is very popular in chiropractic offices

He's using it wrong. Your lymphs are to the side of your face (toward the ears), and then down the neck. Also while the technique does work, its meant to reduce puffiness in the morning. Its always meant to be done rougher, since your lymph build up is a viscose type.

[@heebyjeeby4419]

What are you, the gua sha connoisseur?

[@talkhtw55]

@@heebyjeeby4419He’s actually right

[@vangdavid2]

Depending on what you're doing it for. You can promote sculpting of the face by doing upwards motions. If you're strictly doing it for lymphatic, then yes, towards the ears, and down the neck.

[@vandalg282]

The face CANNOT be sculpted with a simple tool. That requires surgery. Common sense and science tells us that. The device is used for light drainage of the lymph build, that's it. Nothing more. Do the research. Don't @ me.

[@courtneyc3850]

I thought he did go down the neck? It was upward motions for face and then downwards on neck?

[@Wize817]

​@@emiogawa86 FYI, honesty is not being a bully, its truth which most fems are allergic to. All men think this way and always have of older Western fems that talk and gossip like their opinion is worth gold. Dont emulate them unless you want to be divorced or single. Eastern traditional fems with Grace and Humbleness are what men value and like ✌

Not hurt on the face as long as you have facial oils on, other body part may/may not, really depends on the condition of your body😊
