Gua Sha Benefits (inside & out)

If I were to ask to straight out rub stones on your face you'd probably think I was crazy. When done correctly though it's actually a very relaxing experience with a lot of benefits to you, your skin, your body, and even your mind.

Some people believe that different gemstones or crystals have different energies or vibrations (myself included, but don't worry if that is not your thing--you'll still see and feel the benefits). The idea behind this is that using stones during massage will transfer some of the positive vibrations over to you.

Additional benefits include:

1. Lymphatic Drainage: Very simply your lymph flows under the surface of your skin. It contains white blood cells that clean up your system as they move throughout your body and remove the toxins they find into you lymph nodes which get it into your blood where it can be eliminated from your body.

2. Increase blood circulation: While assisting with lymphatic drainage we're also moving along the blood that flows beneath the surface as well...this is what leads to that healthy rosy glow.

3. Stimulate collagen and elastin: Our bodies naturally slow down the production of these proteins but when they continue to be active your skin will be smoother and more firm.

4. Get rid of stagnant Qi: This is back to flow of energy, because everything is energy. When everything is flowing through our bodies our skin is more radiant and our mind is more at ease.

If you have any additional questions about this service or using Gua Sha at home please let me know. I want you to be the happiest you can be in your skin.

Wishing you good skin and good vibes, Tamara
