What is Guasha?

GuaSha is an invaluable healing technique used by many practitioners of TCM. It is performed with the hands using a special instrument made from precious stone, bamboo, wood, or buffalo horn. It is most commonly used to treat pain (especially muscular pain and cramps), chronic cough, or to detoxify the body, as GuaSha can break up stagnation and promote the smooth flow of blood to increases microcirculation under the skin.
