Goddess Gua Sha

This stone and the practise of Gua Sha is so much more than just the latest fashion tool or fad! 

Gua Sha has been an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. It is the practise of rubbing the skin in a specific way, and most often along specific acupuncture channels to remove stagnation from the tissues and bring about healing. 

In fact, the correct practise of Gua Sha has many benefits. Including reducing muscular pain and getting rid of toxins; to stimulating the deeper layers of the skin to bring about firmer, more toned and radiant skin. Now who doesn't want to have healthier and more radiant skin? 

I'd recommend you seek professional guidance first from a TCM practitioner who can then help you to use Gua Sha in the right way for you, prior to using / doing at home. 

Why this Gua Sha Stone?

Having been fortunate to try many Gua Sha stones - this one from Philosophia Botanica is my all time favourite because it is incredibly versatile with it's multiple tool edges and is made of pure Bian stone. Bian contains more than 40 trace elements and minerals, over half of which are said to have anti-aging properties. It's particularly good for Facial Gua Sha and excellent for:  

- Puffiness 
- Fine lines and wrinkles 
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
