Gua Sha (pronunced Gwah Shaw or Gwah Saw) , is an ancient manual medical technique that uses a tool to scrape the skin, muscle & fascia for the purpose of loosening adhesions or stagnation, relieving muscle tension & promoting normal circulation to these tissues. This creates an expansion of the tissues-increasing blood flow, promoting better functioning of sweat and sebaceous glands, flushing capillary beds, draining stagnant blood, toxins and lymph, restoring normal metabolic processes and re-supplying vital nutrients to the surrounding tissues. The word Gua translates to Scraping & the word Sha to the Markings that appear.

It can be constant or occasional, mild or severe, a physical irritation or emotional distress such as grief, anxiety or depression. Pain can be your body’s way of warning you that something is wrong. Living with any type of pain can

My grandmother didn’t practice Chinese Medicine. She would be surprised, however, to find out how much of the wisdom she imparted to me actually has validity in the realm of ancient Chinese Medicine. Your Neck will Catch Cold Grandma used to drive me crazy in the winter season, always insisting I wear a scarf outside or catch a cold. As a matter of fact, there is something to that. Chinese medicine teaches us there is a spot on the back of our necks which is capable of absorbing wind and cold. Once absorbed, it can take hold in your system

What to expect from your acupuncture therapy – How many treatments will I need? It’s hard to predict upfront how many treatments a person will need to see a significant improvement in the symptoms/issues that they are seeking acupuncture for. This is because everyone is an individual and has their own chemistry, wiring, and make-up that you can’t be certain how quickly they will respond to acupuncture.
