Gua Sha treatment is an ancient healing technique that originated in traditional Chinese medicine. It involves using a smooth-edged tool, typically made of jade, horn, or other materials, to gently scrape or rub the skin's surface in specific areas of the body. The scraping action creates light bruising or redness known as "sha," which is a temporary discoloration of the skin.
