Gua Sha Therapy

Sometimes a clear fluid will draw to the surface in a form that resembles cellulite or goose bumps. Where the skin starts out with a green glow, which then turns red during the treatment, is a sign that pain or stagnant "qi" is being removed. The exposing of the Sha is literally removing disease from deep within the system.

In Chinese forms of healing, there are three types of bad "qi". The first type is dead "qi", which refers to the stagnation of blood that has been in the body for a very long time without being released. The means the system is suffering from oxygen deprivation. Dead "qi" is very harmful as it can encourage the growth of cancer cells. Remember, cancer is anaerobic and cannot survive where oxygen is plentiful. The second type of bad "qi" is stagnant "qi". This is caused by conditions such as lack of exercise, chronic heart, liver, kidney, spleen and lung problems and from obesity. The stagnant "qi" is always associated with pain in various parts of the body. The third kind of bad "qi" is toxic "qi", this is where waste products or toxic residue accumulates in the system and when left untreated can result in very serious health problems.

Gua Sha creates suction on the skin that pulls stagnant intercellular fluid to the surface, removing toxic debris, and replacing it with fresh oxygenated, nutrient rich fluid, which in turn accelerates regeneration and revitalizes the region where cancer cells may or already have manifested.

Unlike acupuncture, Gua Sha treats not only the meridian system but the entire system as well. This is why the Chinese utilize Gua Sha as their foremost treatment in the prevention of disease. Gua Sha can be used to treat, alleviate and heal chronic degenerative diseases, migraines, chronic neck, shoulder and back pain, bone spurs, strains and sprains, menstrual disorders, insomnia, heart disease, hypertension, vertigo, sinusitis, ear and eye disorders, chronic infections, sciatica, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, neuralgia, asthma, cysts and tumors, carpal tunnel syndrome, stress, digestive disorders, muscle aches, breast pain, varicose veins, skin disorders, blood disorders and liver, spleen, kidney, bladder, pancreatic stress and much more. If you are suffering from any of the these ailments, then it is time to do something beneficial for yourself and experience Gua Sha and its advantages firsthand by making an appointment with a practitioner and getting yourself on the road to recovery.
