๐บ The Deep Roots of Gua Sha ๐ฟ
Did you know Gua Sha isn’t just a beauty trend, it’s an ancient healing practice that dates back over 700 years? ๐คฏ Some records suggest it was used even earlier, as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)! ๐๐
Originally, Gua Sha was used to:
๐จ Expel “stagnant energy” (Qi) – Believed to cause pain and illness when blocked.
๐ฅ Reduce fever – Ancient practitioners used it to cool down high body temperatures.
๐ฉธ Enhance blood flow – Helping the body detox and promote natural healing.
๐ค Relieve muscle pain and chronic ailments – Used for everything from headaches to joint pain.
How Jade & Rose Quartz Became Part of the Ritual ๐
Centuries ago, healers began using jade and rose quartz for Gua Sha, believing these stones held special healing properties:
๐ Jade – Symbolized purity and harmony, known for its cooling and balancing effects.
๐ธ Rose Quartz – Associated with love and healing, believed to soothe inflammation and promote self-care.
These stones weren’t just beautiful, they were believed to absorb negative energy and enhance circulation and healing! โจ๐
Fun Fact! ๐คฉ Ancient Chinese empresses used jade rollers and Gua Sha tools to maintain their youthful glow! ๐ธ๐พ๐
