Gua Sha

In Gua Sha therapy, a ceramic spoon is utilized to scrape the skin at very specific zones till a purple-red welt appears on the skin. This method is utilized as a household method in China and many parts of Asia to prevent common colds. It is also possible that the Japanese Sho Ni Shin (literally translated as “little children needle”) was developed from this form of therapy. Sho Ni Shin involves the use of instruments that massages specific meridians on the body, in order to create a harmonised environment in a child's body.
