**Introduction to Gua Sha Beauty**
Facial gua sha beauty involves using the gua sha method to scrape and stimulate specific facial areas, achieving remarkable improvements for certain challenging facial conditions. Recommended by the Chinese Traditional Medicine Beauty Professional Association, this method gained international recognition at the 3rd International Traditional Medicine Beauty Conference in Tokyo.
Facial gua sha follows the principles of scraping to stimulate specific facial meridians and acupoints. This enhances blood circulation, clears pores, expels sha qi (stagnant energy), adjusts facial biological information, and balances yin and yang. The stimulation also generates a heat effect, promoting blood flow and activating cells for detoxification, wrinkle reduction, blood circulation improvement, antioxidant benefits, and overall skincare.
It's essential to note that facial skin differs from other body parts, so the goal of facial gua sha isn't to create "sha marks." Achieving a heat effect is optimal. Most recipients feel a mild warmth, some may experience slight pulsations or tingling, and 80% of people return to normal shortly, feeling relaxed, refreshed, and revealing a natural rosy complexion.
**History and Evolution of Gua Sha Beauty**
While gua sha has ancient roots as a folk remedy for conditions like colds and heatstrokes, its effectiveness has gained recognition globally. In the context of a grandfather gua sha session for his feverish grandson triggering concerns in the United States, it reflects a partial understanding. In reality, many Americans include acupuncture and gua sha in their medical insurance, aligning with the payment for Western medical treatments.
Gua sha's efficacy is undeniable after thousands of years of practice, especially in treating various conditions such as hypertension, hypotension, cardiovascular diseases, insomnia, chronic fatigue, anemia, joint disorders, diabetes, gastritis, spasms, appetite loss, habitual constipation, hemorrhoids, obesity, motion sickness, tinnitus, asthma, toothache, dysmenorrhea, eczema, and childhood enuresis.
Gua sha's unexpected beauty effects are noteworthy. An example is a sales manager, An Yi, who, due to stress and irregular lifestyle, struggled with persistent facial acne. Conventional skincare methods proved ineffective until she tried gua sha therapy. In just two sessions, while her back developed sha marks, her facial acne significantly improved. The subtle gua sha marks on her neck added a mysterious charm.
