Gua Sha And Some Of Its Unique Benefits

-

 

Gua Sha’s health benefits have been widely publicised in recent years. Gua Sha tools are applied to the face or body for an effective anti-ageing facial, to potentially reduce acne, ease pain and muscle tension, and even lessen the appearance of cellulite, and are ostensibly loved by celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Elle McPherson for its anti-ageing qualities, and used by Justin Bieber to ease neck pain.

How Does Gua Sha Work?

Gua Sha is a type of massage that involves rubbing the skin with oil and a smooth-edged tool along the meridian line on the face or torso. It increases circulation by up to 400%, causes microdamage, enhances collagen, and stimulates the lymphatic and immunological systems, according to research. While many of us are familiar with Gua Sha facials, its applications are much broader. The Gua Sha body massage tool is a popular treatment among my customers because it relieves tightness in the neck and shoulders, as well as tension in the jaw and face.

There Are 5 Major Benefits Of Using A Gua Sha Tool: 

Grounding Ritual

The skill of Gua Sha is immensely grounding, whether you are receiving therapy from a professional or practising on your own. Our parasympathetic (relaxed) nervous system is instantly activated by the moderate tempo of movement and gentle touch. When we’re feeling grounded in our bodies and calm in our minds, we can handle emotional issues or obstacles that come our way more easily with self-awareness and ease. Gua Sha is transformed into a really stress-relieving and grounding ritual when it is used as a medium to tune in to ourselves more fully.

Gua Sha has few major adverse effects, however, it might be uncomfortable for some people. If you want to have body Gua Sha, make sure you go to a professional who has done it before.

Young boy looking through window blinds rainy day This post was created with the help of my 17 year old son Ryan, who is autistic. Thank you Ryan for offering your insight as you continue to take on a world that you struggle to understand and that struggles to understand you day in and day out with such courage. There are a number of therapies for ASD kids. It might be a second toy or a few words to introduce language to the game. The goal is to create play that goes back and forth between parents and child to encourage more communication and add something new to their play like they teach at  autism respite . It should help them grow emotionally and learn how to better focus their thinking. As a mother of a teenage son with autism, I often wonder if the reason my son spends so much time alone, is because the world, especially the world of teenagers, doesn’t understand him. Sure, my kid struggles to understand some of the social rules of teenagedom, due in part to his autism, but, ...

  The Importance of Respite Care Evidently, it is both noble and challenging to assume the role of a carer to a family member. As reported by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, many carers become exhausted, stressed, anxious or depressed because of the caregiving roles that they perform. Respite care serves as an essential tool to maintain the caregiver’s well-being as the responsibility of care is delegated to professionals like  autism support workers , which, in turn, ensures they can continue providing effective care in the long run. Benefits for Care Recipients While the primary aim of respite care is to support caregivers, it also benefits those receiving care.
