Gua Sha In Todos Santos

Gua sha in Todos Santos is a traditional therapy in which a smooth-edged tool (often made of jade, bone, or horn) is used to apply gentle scraping strokes to the skin’s surface. This technique is believed to promote blood circulation and the flow of qi, releasing tension and toxins from the muscles and promoting healing. Gua Sha is commonly used to relieve muscle pain, stiffness and congestion.

• Helps produce collagen: Anecdotal evidence has found that gua sha can help decrease puffiness and soften fine lines and wrinkles by helping the body produce more collagen—thereby brightening the complexion.
• Decreases inflammation: Science has found that gua sha in Todos Santos can help temporarily relieve pain and tightness in certain parts of the body—even leading to results that last. Those studies suggest that gua sha has an impact on inflammation (which often leads to pain).
• Diminishes dark circles: By helping soften fine lines and stimulating collagen, gua sha can help diminish dark circles (at least, temporarily) and temporarily tighten skin.
• Sculpts facial muscles: Used on the jawline and cheekbone area, gua sha can help release tight facial muscles and give the temporary appearance of a more sculpted face. It won’t get rid of a double chin (it can’t target fat), but it could help ease puffiness in the short term.
