Gua Sha Rose Quartz
Before entering the world of beauty, Gua Sha was mainly used in Chinese medicine and this for many centuries! Gua Sha is a massage ritual that consists of energetically "scraping" the skin with a small tool, initially made of cow horn. Massages rid the body of bad energies, heal muscular pains, relieve joint tensions, reduce fever and inflammations, by stimulating acupressure points. In Chinese, "GuaSha" means "scratch the fever" or "scratch the disease" ("Gua" for "scratch" and "Sha" for "disease"). The rubbings performed act on the lymphatic circulation and rid the body of its toxins. This ritual improves the immune system and helps the energies to circulate better. According to Chinese medicine, Gua Sha allows a real connection between the body, the spirit and the energies. Today, the Gua sha has been modernized and is found in our beauty routines. It designates both the massages performed and the tool used. Its appearance in the West dates back to 2019 and this ritual was quickly integrated into the world of aesthetics. The technique used is now based on a much gentler gesture adapted to the tissues of the face. It consists of sliding the tool along the skin to stimulate blood circulation and activate lymphatic drainage. These massages help to fight against skin aging, tone, lift and firm the skin. The shape of the tool has been reworked to fit in the hand and perfectly follow the contours of the face. The tool is no longer made of cow horn. It is made of much more noble materials such as rose quartz, blue sodalite or jade stone. According to lithotherapy, each of these stones has its own virtues: - Rose quartz: it is the symbol of love and peace. It soothes emotions, stress and restores self-confidence. - Blue sodalite: this stone calms anxiety, helps to control emotions and activates creativity. - Jade stone: it is the symbol of purity, wisdom but also power. It represents temperance, drives out parasitic ideas and favors inner peace. The facial massage performed with the Gua Sha brings multiple benefits to the face and promises you a healthy skin. The results are visible from the first weeks of use. Gua Sha promotes blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Toxins in the face are evacuated, skin tissue is oxygenated and the skin regains a luminous and radiant complexion. These massages also help to reduce signs of fatigue and stress, responsible for a dull complexion and marked skin.
