Therapeutic Gua Sha Treatment in British Columbia

Gua Sha is one of the lesser-known forms of treatment used in Chinese medicine. Translated, it means ‘skin scraping’. But don’t let that frighten you from trying. It is simple, painless and helpful for a myriad of conditions. A flat stone tool is gently scraped along the surface to improve circulation, which manually and naturally moves lymphatic fluid. 

The Gua Sha treatment uses special scrapping tools and techniques on the governor meridian and foot sun bladder meridian of the bank by the road line. The technique is to follow in a single direction, away from the neck to the bottom of the waistline. 

The practitioners at Honest Dee Health Care in British Columbia recommend this treatment for regulating Qi and blood circulation, activating blood and removing stasis, relaxing tendons and eliminating toxins from the body.
