I love how he threw them aside and they all clanked hahahah I love this guy.

[@funnybunny]

I'm so glad you talked about shape and the size :D thanks for making this vid! Where to buy those tools?

[@SidekickTool]

No problem! Visit sidekicktool.com

[@sophiexiedpt2704]

WOW. I just found your video and I thought your logo looks familiar. Turns out, I actually recommend your gua sha tool on my blog post where I was introducing about gua sha treatment. I thought your tools are very ergonomic. Just saying hi, and loved your video. Just subscribed.

[@annpab534]

Great videos! I noticed materials are made with buffalo horns, meteorite and wood. What is your opinion on these materials?

[@SPARKYSS1]

I bought one from ali express expecting a jade and Paying 10 dollars but when it came it was hard plastic

[@GAILJENA]

Hi, What about rose quartz or agate?

[@Klassenfeind]

Gail Jenaway I got a few for comparison. The rose quarz one is comparably soft and doesn't make as much sha as the horn one. If you like the cold feel it's a good choice for face and neck.

[@saurabhsonic]

Thank you so much for your video. You gave me the perfect advice. I was looking for a tool to help with my sprained ankle. I think the large, stone, S-shape tool will be best for me! Thanks again!!

[@kitraweenutchanart1611]

For facial. If I want to use it for the long run till I am old (40 -50).. should I get the jade one over rose quartz? Or rose quartz better for acne prone / sensitive skin? Thank you

[@ppehsy]

I'm new to Gua Sha Why don't I see many videos that how to use it on the abdomen?? And is Gua Sha better than The derma roller?? Which provides faster & better results??

[@cat-tzu1234]

Is there any difference in effect on skin tissue in these different materials? For example plastic is made of petroleum, etc.

[@sarahbasha8066]

i need someone to reply to this pls

[@rvhmvli]

i ordered one but it came in plastic, is it still okay to use on the face? does it still do the job?

[@tykmaaa]

i ordered one too and i don’t know if it did the job though

[@kerryescott3195]

Thank you, this was very informative

[@kanoelani3425]

what about ceramic ?

[@sgphilgoh]

Useful information and clear explanation. Downloaded it. Thank you.

[@ufninoc]

I got the big one, your videos are helpful brother Keep up the good work PS. Yes it does work and let’s me relax a bit

[@prettylady8706]

how much? how to order or how to buy? hoping for your response...thanks...

[@SidekickTool]

Hi +susan vasquez, check out this link for our products: sidekicktool.com/collections/frontpage

[@amibintaadam2462]

Thank you. Useful.

[@needThaiForexTrading]

What is the size in cm for The Big one ??

[@DottAlessandroRosin]

umh so If I don't look price, the best will be an heavy big tool with many different curves?

[@jyeonjuryuu4670]

Does plastic guasha works?

[@bawngtimkh9196]

The ridges side is used for your face

[@shaytokyo782]

Does a plastic gua sha still work?

[@SidekickTool]

It will not be as high quality as a medical grade stainless steel device.

[@yellowroses1316]

Can you give me the measurements for the big one? I’m buying it online so I need to know how much it measures. Thank you.

[@thetree7694]

*_So finally, which one did he say is the best?_*

[@Romans15.32]

larger, stone material

[@quodlibetful]

Thank you for this information.

[@anchored555]

Genuine bianstone is actually quite expensive

[@marufhossain1728]

what's about resin one?!?

[@suhir5210]

I've seen wood ones, what about those? Are they any good? Also what do you mean you feel vibrations? You mention 'the balm' what balm are you referring to?

[@marinarivera4864]

it’s better to apply a balm or oil with a gua sha so that it doesn’t tug on your skin and i’m pretty sure you can just use any balm or oil , but u should do research to find which one is best to use on your skin

[@joyscola]

Thanks for the great info!

[@salmabartiza583]

i want to purchase a Gua Sha set for my face , what are the best tools for me please ?

[@k8settle991]

Hey does anyone know if a resin gua sha is bad? I bought one thinking it was a different material

[@umcsk8]

saw a video from zions edge massage where they stated the resin was rather useless- but for a beginner probably no harm!

[@mistermister804]

how to treat trigger finger using gua sha?

[@jalong8296]

Is it good for Cellulite and does it make a difference in how Gua Sha should flow, ie., away from heart, does it make a difference?

[@SidekickTool]

+JoAnn this post might help you: trainedto.com/tcm/gua-sha-wrinkles/

[@synthiapugmure508]

Resin not retin

[@synthiapugmure508]

Spellcheck

[@synthiapugmure508]

I ll look for your response t y

[@sharonbanks5206]

where did you purchase your stone S shaped stone from?

[@andreacroci1988]

do you clean your skin with soap or alchool before performing the technique?

[@Klassenfeind]

Andrea Croci you can use a massage oil (careful if you use plastic guashaban) on your skin and clean the guashaban after use with alcohol if you share it with others. Else water and gentle soap is sufficient.

[@monsieurmichelbabin]

I bought one recently that was make out of jade and it was not scrapping at all, very round edges...is it suposer to be almost like a blade that you can cut with it or more like a butter knife ? of like a credit card? and what brand do you recommend that has the best price for the value? wich is a stone, big, and has a great shape? thanks man!

[@SidekickTool]

+michel something in between is what we recommend. A butter knife is a bit too sharp, but the jade one (like we have in the video, but may not be very easy to tell) is a bit too blunt. We would recommend our Flowstick (stone, big and has a good shape) : trainedto.com/product/gua-sha-tool-w-lubricating-balm/

[@QQ-ph2jk]

700th like!!!

[@anye76]

should you go to a practitioner first or is this OK to just do at home? If you decide to go to a practitioner what should you look for as far as credentials? I'm fascinated by this.

[@Klassenfeind]

anye76 you can just start without practitioner. guasha is a home remedy in China, no formal training required.

[@kiiiimmmber]

Thanks for the videos!!! ❤️

[@meeradattatri9305]

Where do we get jade tool for guasha

[@teguhsuryadi5387]

i prefer to use the one made from buffalo horn :)

[@derekrudolph1994]

what about buffalo horn?

[@SmileKidOFMusic]

Thank you! Very useful

[@lagemaria]

thanks so much

[@Marie0304]

Wanted to order but you are out of stock. :(

[@SidekickTool]

Hi +Marie C, we will be back in stock in a few days. If you'd like to be notified when it's available, again, simply enter your email at the top of this page (where the green bar is): trainedto.com/ Thanks!

[@lindsaygoodwin3140]

I see a lot of bone and resin ones as well.

[@fireboarder12]

I have one made from buffalo horn, and I have a friend with a whale bone one!

[@hemainuk]

can I use metallic spoons?

[@maria098cheng]

Try it on yourself... It's all about comfort

[@kiriyoplay]

Best to avoid plastic & metal. The scrapping motion causes static build-up (positive ions) and that's not good for your body.

[@minhanhbui3955]

do u know what positive ions are 😭

[@slowedmusic2415]

Is it normal that my gua sha and jade roller kinda smells like clay?

[@BoBo-vd4df]

Thank you so much for all the information, it's much appreciated..

[@ambivalent1]

What about wooden ones? 🤔

[@ninoslanguagejourney6002]

I guess it's literally just about weight, size, shape. Wood is obviously easier to break than plastic but not as easy as stone if you drop it but at the same time light weight.

[@savannahn2169]

I got some that are made out of water buffalo horn, I saw quite a few of them made out of this material, is it more traditional or no?

[@SidekickTool]

A lot in the past were made from this material, yes

[@tamporaz2741]

Seven Everywhere the one from buffalo horn is better,as it can discharge negative electricity from your body too...like aura cleansing
