This alternative therapy involves rubbing the skin with a special massage tool to improve circulation and chronic pain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe most common do-it-yourself treatment is focused on the face because it involves more gentle techniques than those used by a practitioner. People who practice gua sha daily may see results such as improved circulation, reduced wrinkles, improved skin tone and pigmentation, a more defined jawline, decongested sinuses and less puffy eyes. There is also the benefit of tension release. A natural stone is the most recommended material and the application of facial oil before use will ensure the stone glides easily across the skin. Jade stone is the best stone to use in Gua sha as it holds temperatures the longest - place in fridge or freezer for 10-15 minutes before using and the benefits are greater (cold helps to reduce inflammation). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePersonal research before use is recommended.
