Gua Sha is an ancient Asian Healing Art through which smoothed-edged tools made of various material — horn, bone, metal, wood, or stone — are run over areas of tension, breaking apart underlying scar tissue. This action moves energy in the body and flushes stagnant cellular debris. 

Gua Sha creates marks similar in color to Cupping marks, which naturally disappear through the lymph system. Because of Gua Sha's more superficial effect, the marks tend to fade within 1-3 days.
