I am a licensed master aesthetician and I completely agree with you. Kendall has no license to say and teach this technique and she also has no knowledge of the eastern philosophy that goes with this. But because she is a celebrity, gullible people will believe and follow this. I have actually studied your technique many years ago amongst others. Thank you for your gentle explanation of the real facts. ❤

[@DianaMarie23051]

Pretty sure the world knows that Kendal is not licensed. Lol. The woman in this video is at least gracious about the way she points out the minor issues that were there. Kendal is just informing the world of her routine. No one takes anything a celebrity does as serious.

Had a Chinese friend serve me warm water with some herbs to all our meals. I found it weird at first, but she told me that "cold water and warm food would only make trouble in the stomach" and that I had to choose whether to cool down or heat up. Helping the body keep up heat, gave the body time to do other things. Drinking cold water would make the job harder for the body, and the gut and brain would be less prioritized and suffer. I still drink cold water, but sometimes I choose tea, and think about this. And after all, I know my body calms down with warm drinks. Glad to hear this being backed up!

[@AliEtSaMaman]

05:30 I totally sense what you are saying regarding heat and health. I have friends who, after many failed attempts to have a baby (miscarriages, etc), went to see a Chinese doctor. He said the mother should be warm at anytime and not to ever get anything cold around her belly (no cold baths, no going in the swimming pool, always cover her stomach in winter with an extra protection). And indeed, they now have a baby at long last.

[@allytheninja]

I just started incorporating Gua Sha into my skin care routine and had no idea the instructions that came with my tool were so wrong. They practically advise you to do all the WRONG things! Thank you for this informative video!

[@drsashina]

I love the similiarity between TCM and Ayurveda. I hate that it gets watered down and altered so badly in the west! Thank you for sharing the authentic method of practicing Gua Sha. So very appreciated!

[@janapalata5318]

I think it is because they both come from a deep wisdom. 2 years ago I went to Panchakarma - ayurvedic retreat to India - it is a great way how to detoxify the body natural way. This year we are going again with a group of people for cheaper price. My friends goes every year as it helped her to heal the migrane. I like the holistic approach. We should understand the roots when doing something…I loved this video❤

So glad your information is out there! I recently started “gua sha” and have been searching for good videos to learn. So I’m sticking with you. Thank you for your info and instruction. It is super important to know the origins and intent of what and where gua sha came from. As a Chinese American, my mom always talked about hot and cold and how we had to drink hot tea. I didn’t understand that until you explained about heat and cold for the body. Thanks again, really appreciate you☺️

​@@lynne3989ok in summer

Because drinking cold fluids in summertime means your body needs to raise the body temperature to warm the liquid up..nd you sweat more that's the reason why Arabs drink lots of hot tea

What exactly does gua sha do? I just got one because I’m trying to care more about my skin (aging and acne) but is it more of just a massage or reduces wrinkles or other health benefits? I don’t totally understand and am so new to this world of skin care and especially Chinese medicine/ tradition lol. I’m glad I found this video though it helps me understand how to use it properly so thank you!

[@Lanshin]

Gua Sha helps circulate blood, fluids, and energy, which in turn can make the skin more vibrant and supple. Some find that by doing Gua Sha, the appearance of wrinkles is softened. That said, we encourage you to do Gua Sha to promote healthy skin and tissue as a primary goal, with cosmetic results being an extra bonus. You can check out this post we made on IG for more information on the benefits of Gua Sha! instagram.com/p/CpQ5lujOXjr/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I've always wondered what the benefits of using gua sha tools are (like the ones you've designed and used here) instead of just hands. Even though I'm gentle, I feel intuitively that using just my hands is better, but maybe I'm using the gua sha tools incorrectly? This video was so insightful and educational! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and instruction.

[@Lanshin]

Using tools allows us to have more power, go deeper, get more results, etc! Using your hands is great for facial massage -- but it won't be Gua Sha! Gua Sha by definition is with a tool.

[@floraluxla]

That's so interesting to learn ice is not considered healthy in TCM and I have Chinese lineage but my digestive in Human Design is a cold digestion. I am going to try limiting ice intake.

[@coffeelattemood]

Thank you for the explanation. It’s very helpful. My questions are: 1. should we cleanse our face (again) after doing gua sha? Because there’s an oil residue..or we just leave it that way? 2. Is it okay to do gua sha when we are currently having some acne especially cystic acne? Because I want to do gua sha but I’m struggling with acne too😢

[@Lanshin]

Great questions! We like to treat Gua Sha as the end of our skincare routine -- and the oil is the moisturizer! It gives a good chance to really work in all your products to the skin. If your skin doesn't love oils, you could always Gua Sha during the oil cleansing step! It is totally OK to Gua Sha with acne! Make sure you start with a clean face and a clean tool, and don't do it over broken skin or open pimples (cover them up with a pimple patch first!)!

Coconut oil is actually amazing for acne! I put it on my cystic zits and it heals them right up. It has great antimicrobial properties. I’m curious about the ice theory. I like my smoothie or fresh juice cold of course but I’m finding I don’t really like ice in my drinks or water anymore and I have pain and gut issues, basically a lot of autoimmune problems. I have also never liked icing pain. When doctors tell me to ice something, I don’t because I hate it so much.

[@debracisneroshhp2827]

@seaglassmamma4040, The thing about ice cold drinks and foods, it 'paralizes' the releasing of stomach acid, preventing proper digestion__hence, your digestive/gut issues. I've been educating on this subject for decades but people just do not want to believe it until they morph some of their habits__then, it's a revalation. 😛 Hope that explains it for you(?). 💖🙌😺
