How does Gua Sha work?

A Gua Sha works by improving the blood and lymphatic circulation of the skin, which contributes to its vitality and overall health. Here is a more detailed explanation of the process:

Stimulation of blood circulation

When you use a Gua Sha, you apply gentle, steady pressure to your skin. This action stimulates blood circulation in the treated areas, which promotes the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the skin. Improved blood circulation helps revitalize the skin, making it look brighter and promoting the production of collagen, a protein essential for skin firmness and elasticity.

Lymphatic drainage

Gua Sha also helps drain lymphatic fluids, which can accumulate under the skin and cause swelling or puffiness, especially around the eyes and face. Lymphatic drainage helps reduce these swellings and detoxify the skin by eliminating waste and toxins.

muscle relaxation

Regular use of a Gua Sha can help relax facial muscles, reducing tension that can contribute to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

What is lymphatic drainage?

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic form of massage that aims to stimulate the flow of lymph (a clear fluid that circulates through the body to remove waste and toxins) through the lymphatic system. This process helps to speed up the removal of wastes and toxins from the body, helping to improve overall health.

The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in the body's immune system, helping to fight infection and disease. However, unlike the circulatory system, which is supplied by the heart, the lymphatic system does not have a central pump. Rather, it depends on bodily movements to circulate lymph.

When the circulation of the lymph is deficient, the body can weaken and become intoxicated, which risks causing various health problems: swelling of the limbs, premature aging, cellulite, heavy legs, stretch marks, etc... L he use of tools such as the Gua Sha helps facilitate lymphatic drainage at home.
