Facial & Scalp Gua Sha
Therapy in Bellevue, WA

Gua Sha or Guasha, is a traditional Chinese medical therapy originating from ancient China, with a history dating back over two thousand years, first mentioned in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon (黃帝內經). Initially, it involved using stones or animal bones as tools, known as "stone needle therapy," and later evolved to incorporate coins, ceramic spoons, and other instruments. Gua Sha works by clearing meridians and regulating Qi and blood flow to treat ailments, gaining widespread use among the populace and in medical texts during the Han, Tang, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Modern Gua Sha tools are often made of jade, horn, or stainless steel, with applications extending to pain relief, improving blood circulation, and beauty care. In recent years, Gua Sha has gained international popularity as a natural therapy, embodying the wisdom and cultural heritage of traditional Chinese medicine.
