Cupping & Gua Sha
Release stagnation, toxicity, and tension.
Cupping Therapy
An ancient healing art practiced for over 3,000 years across cultures to promote the smooth flow of qi and blood, disperses stagnation, and supports the body’s natural healing.
Gua Sha
A traditional scraping technique that uses smooth strokes over the skin to release heat and stagnation, and stimulate circulation for pain relief and immune support.
Facial Rejuvenation
Lifts the jowls and eyebrows, stones sagging muscles, smooth fine lines, and enhance circulation for a naturally radiant complexion.
Unblocking flow, restoring vitality.
We utilize cupping therapy and gua sha to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and address imbalances such as colds, headaches, and chronic pain.
Cupping Therapy involves using suction to encourage the flow of qi and blood throughout the body. This technique:
Releases tension and adhesions as cups glide over tight muscle bands
Draws out stagnation and toxins through the skin
Supports respiratory health and alleviates symptoms of colds
Promotes deep relaxation and overall healing
Gua Sha employs a smooth-edged tool used in repetitive scraping motions across areas of tension. This practice:
Breaks up adhesions and knots in the muscles
Improves microcirculation and reduces inflammation
Provides effective relief for headaches, neck tension, and chronic muscle tightness
It is important to note that both Cupping and Gua Sha often leave temporary marks on the skin that may resemble bruises but are not painful. In Chinese medicine, we call this effect "sha". These marks, which can range from light red to deep purple, are a normal response and indicate the release of stagnation and toxins from the body.
Duration of Marks: Marks typically fade within 3-7 days, depending on individual circulation and the depth of stagnation.
Aftercare Tips: Stay hydrated, avoid intense physical activity, and keep the treated area warm to maximize benefits and support the healing process.
These marks are a sign that your body is responding positively to the treatment, helping you feel more balanced, relaxed, and rejuvenated!
With immediate relief from discomfort and long-term benefits like stress reduction and improved circulation, cupping therapy and gua sha are integral tools in restoring balance and vitality.
