Gua sha
is applied primarily on the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks and limbs
of the body. Advanced practitioners may also raise sha on the chest and
abdomen. To apply gua sha, first
lubricate the area with oil. If you do not have gua sha oil, you can use
Ten Thousand Flowers Herbal Oil ( Wan Hua Oil), Tiger Balm, or other
external-use oil. If there are any
moles, cuts or unhealed wounds, cover them with your fingers. Do not
apply the gua sha slide/ gua sha board or other gua sha tools to such areas. Hold the gua sha tool at a thirty-five degree angle to the skin, the smooth edge touching the skin.
Gua Sha Stroke Areas
Apply downward strokes to the skin using moderate pressure. The person should not feel pain although it might feel uncomfortable. Stroke one area at a time, until all the sha are up (the petechiae of that surface are completely raised) which is when stroking no longer increases the number of dots or changes the color. Then move to the next area.
The sha petechiae should fade in about 2-4 days. If they are very slow to fade, it indicates poor blood circulation and there may be a more serious deficiency that will require additional treatments combining acupuncture or acupressure in specific areas.
Because gua sha moves "stuck" or stagnant qi and blood, the person receiving gua sha will probably feel immediate changes in his/her condition. It is a very useful treatment for external and internal conditions, and treats both acute and chronic disorders.
