Gua Sha stone treatment, at Divine Oak Wellness Center is a rejuvenating and holistic skincare practice that has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. The technique involves using a smooth, flat tool, typically made of jade or rose quartz stone, to gently massage and scrape the skin in order to stimulate circulation, reduce tension, and promote a radiant complexion.
It is believed that, by scraping the skin the flow of energy, or Qi, is improved, helping to release blockages and encourage a more balanced and harmonious energy flow. The specialized stones used in this practice are chosen for their cooling properties and are believed to have additional benefits, such as promoting lymphatic drainage and reducing inflammation.
As the stone moves across the skin, it helps to relax the facial muscles and alleviate tension. The scrapping action is thought to stimulate production of collagen and promotes firmness to the skin and avoids preventing fine lines and wrinkles.
Beyond its physical benefits, Gua Sha stone treatment is often regarded as a holistic experience that incorporates relaxation and mindfulness. The soothing strokes and cool touch of the stone creates a calming sensation, making it a popular choice for those seeking not only improved skin health but also a tranquil and meditative skincare ritual.
