In today's post, I want to tell you about a face massage with guasha (gua sha), a Chinese method of lymphatic drainage massage (this time I am really proud of myself, I promised to make a post at the beginning of the month, when, and now I did, not even a year passed). In general, today I will try to talk about the massage technique, various gua sha scrapers (a terrible word, yes), as well as my experience of using massage gua sha tiles (I have been practicing this massage for about two years, I have tried two different gua sha tiles and now I am just going to order third). But let's talk about everything in order ...
Guasha scrapers
So, by and large, gouache scrapers for facial massage in terms of their functionality are not much different from each other (I would say that in fact they do not differ at all, at least this is the second tile that I use and the result is the same), here I tried to collect guache tiles from different stones, at the end of the article I will give a complete list of scrapers from different brands that I found on English sites (the only thing, I'm not entirely sure, in "three-headed" tiles like Jane Scrivner, as it seems to me, they not very convenient for working out the chin area):
- White Lotus Jade Gua Sha - jade massage tiles (it is believed that jade is a healing stone that normalizes the nervous system, promotes healing);
- - rose quartz massage tiles (it is believed that rose quartz is a stone of love, especially self-love, which opens the heart chakra);
- Odacite Crystal Contour Gua Sha Blue Sodalite - massage tiles made of sodalite (sodalite is believed to promote harmony and restore inner balance);
- Odacite Crystal Contour Gua Sha Green Aventurine - massage tile made of aventurine (adventure is considered a stone of luck that promotes prosperity);
- Jane Scrivner Gua Sha Tool - carnelian massage tiles (carnelian is believed to have a strong calming and pacifying effect).
In general, I now have a White Lotus Jade Gua Sha scraper (before that I had another jade scraper, but after an unsuccessful landing on a tile, I had to say goodbye to it), in general I was happy with it all the way (I repeat, for the most part all the gouache tiles for facial massage are about the same - the shape, size, thickness of the material itself are almost identical) ... But when I saw the tiles from Odacite, I just fell in love with a rose quartz scraper (compared to this pink handsome man, my jade scraper has already begun to seem like some kind of ugly), for me Odacite Crystal Contour Gua Sha Rose Quartz is just a visual delight and I have already decided that I will definitely buy this tile (I have been looking at it for a couple of weeks now, I just can't think of an excuse for such a replacement, since the scrapers are essentially identical) ...
Using
The gouache scraper is named after the Chinese massage technique of the same name (the essence of which is in rather hard “scraping” movements, after which microscopic hemorrhages remain on the body, which outwardly frighteningly look like “bloody paths”). Modern facial massage with massage tiles of gua sha, in fact, has only a visual similarity with its "progenitor" (similarity in the form of a scraper), while the massage itself is done with a slight pressure (and does not injure the skin).
So, a gua sha facial massage is essentially a lymphatic drainage massage, which is aimed at improving lymph circulation and blood circulation, relieving tension, toning the skin, improving facial contours, removing puffiness and smoothing wrinkles. I will attach more detailed videos with the technique of facial massage with guasha below, but now I would like to briefly summarize the main points:
- It is advisable to massage on top of the oil (so that the device glides well on the skin and does not stretch it). For example, Odacite offers to sprinkle the face with mist and apply 5-10 drops of oil (but here everything is individual, you can use less or more oil, depending on the oil itself and its texture in the first place). I usually massage either on top of a cleansing balm (such as Sarah Chapman, etc.) at the stage of washing, or on top of the oil for the face (in this case, I apply the oil on the mist without hyaluronic serums and at the end of the procedure I blot the remaining oil with a napkin, apply on average about 3-5 drops of oil);
- The pressure on the guache should be small (so as not to injure the skin), and the movements should be smooth;
- The device should be held at an angle of approximately 15 degrees;
- The device must be washed after each use.
For different areas of the face, you can use different parts of the guache scraper, in principle, you can use the massager here in any convenient way, but there are the following recommendations:
- The lower, less curved part of the guache is suitable for working out the cheek area;
- The upper, more curved part of the guache is suitable for working out the forehead and neck area (although, for example, it is most convenient for me to use the lower part for working out the forehead);
- The side part with a notch is suitable for working out the area around the eyes, the area of \u200b\u200bthe nose, as well as the contours of the face (along the sides of the chin).
Regarding the effectiveness of gouache massage, massage perfectly relieves puffiness, with constant use, the contours of the face really improve (this is especially noticeable in the cheekbones, which become more pronounced, as well as in the chin area), the skin tone improves, and wrinkles are noticeably softened. Overall, the skin looks fresher, healthier and more toned.
And a few more words about the effect of guache on wrinkles. I have a deep enough line between the brows, which I fight with all my might. So, in this area I did a more intense massage (from the bottom up) with more pressure than on other areas of the face, actively kneading my forehead. At first, the sensations were, I would even say, a little painful, but gradually the tension in the muscles was relieved and it became easier and easier to work out the forehead. As a result, I can say that in the end my hated wrinkle began to look much better (some of my friends even noticed the changes).
Conclusion
That is, perhaps, all that I wanted to tell you about the facial massage with guache. In conclusion, I would like to clarify a point regarding the use of facial massagers, in my opinion, by and large it does not matter which massager to use, the main thing in this matter is regularity. For example, at the moment in my arsenal there are three massagers (now I alternate them according to my mood) - ReFa, and White Lotus. Yes, all these devices are slightly different in terms of personal usability for different areas (for example, guache is most convenient for me to use on the forehead and cheeks, ReFa - on the cheeks and side surfaces of the chin, Nurse Jamie - around the eyes and chin) , but again, by and large, they are all interchangeable ...

REMOVING SHA SPOTS: WHY IS IT NECESSARY?
During illness, a lot of decay products accumulate in the body. When their number reaches a certain level, they begin to interfere with the circulation of energy.
The Gua Sha massage technique is aimed at increased production of antioxidants, activation of defenses, elimination of toxins, whereby obstacles on the path of energy flows are eliminated, and the body itself copes with the disease .
As a result of the directed action with a scraper, traces remain on the body: red spots, dots, bruises. By the areas of their localization, it is possible to determine where exactly the failure occurred, since specific areas are reflexively connected with certain internal organs. This allows you to direct the work to correct the impaired functions. Massage removes congestion, thereby normalizing the work of internal organs. 
Many clients write in reviews that after the Gua Sha massage they experienced an exacerbation of a chronic disease. This is a completely normal temporary phenomenon and you should not be afraid of it.
Another reaction is also possible: during the first few days after the session, the state of health improves significantly, then there is a sharp decline in strength.
In addition, there may be an unpleasant odor from the body. This is the result of the activation of metabolic processes and the intense release of toxins. After a couple of days, when the body is cleansed, fatigue and smell disappear.
Massage is very important in Chinese culture. An incredible variety of techniques have been created there, which are not similar to each other and give different effects. The whole world adopts these techniques one by one, discovering new possibilities for influencing the human body. The technique of performing Guasha massage is one of the most interesting and at the same time simple techniques borrowed from the land of the rising sun.
Guasha massage - what is it
This massage is performed using special scrapers. They are guided through the patient's body according to a special scheme, squeezing out and expelling negative energy, and with it toxins.
The massage mechanism is very simple and does not require much training. However, specialists have been learning to do this massage for several years. The fact is that the Guasha massage affects both the physical and the spiritual level. The master must be able to influence the body in a certain way, redistributing the energies of the body and freeing the patient from everything bad. Indeed, in Eastern culture it is believed that all human diseases have spiritual causes. And if you get rid of negativity, any ailments can be easily cured.
The first results are noticeable after the first session. The beneficial effect of massage is multifaceted, simultaneously affects different aspects.
- Blood vessels expand, blood circulation and lymph flow improve.
- Spasms decrease and disappear.
- Joint pains disappear.
- The body becomes more mobile and light.
- Shortness of breath passes.
- Decreases swelling, including mucous membranes.
- Guasha face massage can slow down aging and eliminate many skin imperfections.
Types of Chinese massage
Depending on the purpose, this massage can be performed on any part of the body. The Guasha scraper does not have a strictly regulated shape. Masters use different tools to achieve the most effective impact on all parts of the body.
- Square with slight irregularities - for the back
- Triangular - for limbs and neck
- For the face, use scrapers of complex shape, similar to a fish.
- For the head, special combs with massive blunt teeth are used
- There are also universal scrapers, with sides of different shapes.
- At the final stage, special convex-concave "spoons" can be used, they allow you to apply more pressure.
Scope of Guasha massage
This massage affects the entire body. It gradually improves the functioning of all body systems:
- Respiratory system. Shortness of breath disappears, drainage of the respiratory tract improves.
- Immune system. Overall resistance to disease improves, and the risk of exacerbation of chronic diseases is reduced.
- The musculoskeletal system becomes more mobile. Pains disappear after physical exertion, flexibility appears.
- Digestive system. Improves appetite and metabolism, disorders are less common.
- The cardiovascular system is strengthened. Blood circulates well, heart rate improves, blood vessels become stronger.
- Skin and excretory system. Toxins and salts are removed, the skin tone is improved, the production of elastane and collagen is enhanced, which makes the skin of the whole body more elastic and durable.
Guasha massage - technique
The technique of performing the Guasha massage is rather aggressive. Before starting the massage, the patient must be warned about the appearance of bruises. They arise in those places where there were stagnant phenomena and which especially need treatment. After a few sessions, bruises disappear and new ones stop appearing, which means that the body condition has improved and the massage has brought results.
The Guasha massage technique itself is quite simple, but there are important principles that every master knows about.
The essence of massage is to expel negative energy, so all movements are made from top to bottom and from the center of the body to the periphery. With a scraper, the master seems to rake the negative and pushes it out of the body to the limbs, and then out. For this, you can use different types of impact with a scraper.
- Slow motion with light pressure on the scraper.
- Slow movements with strong pressure.
- Fast movements with intense pressure.
Before the massage, the skin must be lubricated with a balm or a mixture of olive and essential oils. The time of one session is approximately equal to the time during which the oil is completely absorbed.
When acting on the face, you must also remember about massage lines. Much less force is applied, but sometimes marks and redness may remain on the face. Facial rejuvenation with Chinese Guasha massage is not one of those procedures that can be done at lunchtime. This is a really effective way, but it requires regular sessions. The first ones are best planned for vacation.
Price for Guasha massage
Guasha therapy gives results from the first session. However, to achieve a significant improvement in health, it takes a whole cycle. The required number of sessions is determined by the master himself. Usually, during the final sessions, bruises are no longer formed, and the massage feels much more pleasant than at the beginning, on unprepared skin.
The price for Chinese massage Guasha depends on many factors, including the professionalism of the master and the price policy of the salon. On average, in the Moscow region it is 1500-3000 r per session. Of course, a master trained in Tibet and mastering the technique perfectly will not work for the minimum cost. Therefore, you need to choose a salon not only for reasons of economy, but also in accordance with the requirements for the quality of massage.
This type of massage is perfect for getting rid of cellulite on the bottom. With the help of a scraper, the skin will be smoothed and regained its former elasticity.

SIMILAR ENTRIES:
Guasha performed in one direction and allows you to purposefully affect important reflex points that correspond to the internal organs.
The procedure begins with applying massage oil to cleansed skin and tapping the intended massage area in the direction main meridians.
Three main methods of exposure
Depending on the purpose of the procedure, a suitable scraper technique:
- Light and slow pressure (bu-gua) is suitable for cosmetic massage.
- Slow movements with strong pressure (ping-bu ping-se) are indicated for preventive and restorative massage.
- The fastest and strongest movements (se-gua method) are chosen by the master when performing therapeutic massage.
Massage directions
It is important to perform massage movements in a strictly defined direction (from the center of the body to the sides or from top to bottom) along the projections of the internal organs onto the skin (the so-called meridians).
It can be massaged practically whole body: chest, abdomen and back, arms and legs, neck, face, head.
On the outside of the arms and legs, as well as on the back of the back, there are the Yang meridians responsible for the functioning of the genitals. On the front surfaces of the arms, legs and torso are those responsible for the work of the heart and other "Dense" internal organs Yin meridians.

Number of repetitions one movement depends on the age and gender of the patient. For a young girl, 6 repetitions are usually enough, and for an adult man 9.
Duration of one session and effect
Healing session massage lasts no longer than 25 minutes, the duration of the procedure carried out for preventive purposes can be up to 40 minutes.
Increase the duration of exposure can't, since the effect of massage may be the opposite.
During the session skin turns red, there is a tingling and burning sensation, a sound similar to the rubbing of grains of sand may appear. During the entire procedure, the patient's body must be periodically wiped from the released toxins.
In the presence of internal diseases in the places of projection of diseased organs, pronounced bruises appear, which the Chinese call "Sha spots"... Spots can be red, purple or even black and are caused by excess lactic acid.
Painful sensations in these areas does not arise... However, until the skin hematomas resolve (for different people, it takes from several hours to 5 days), a second session of guache should not be performed.
Sometimes after the first few treatments hematomas are not formed - this may indicate poor performance by the skin of its functions. In this case, you need to increase the number of sessions.
Normal condition after massage of guasha - general weakness, chills and loss of strength. Immediately after the first massage session or on the second day, an exacerbation of internal diseases is possible.
Wherein very important provide plenty of drink and do not take water procedures for at least 3 hours after the session.
Optimal frequency of massages - 1-2 a week. The course of procedures includes 10 to 20 sessions. Massage therapists recommend continuing the sessions until the “sha spots” stop forming, and in the future, limit themselves to preventive procedures with a frequency of 1 month.
Gouache massage is the oldest type of Chinese massage. The name translates as “to scratch all the bad things”, i.e. Gua - to scrape; "Sha" is bad. In order to "scrape" a special plate is used. With the help of it, certain areas are treated, including various points and reflexogenic zones of the body, face and head. Reflex irritation with a special plate causes a powerful impulse, the microcirculation of skin tissues and organs is restored. Tissues begin to regenerate on their own, metabolic processes improve, natural restorative processes of our body are triggered, lymphatic drainage takes place, cleansing of toxins and impurities.
Execution technique
Gouache massage ideally combines ease of implementation and efficiency, which makes it available for widespread use by Russian doctors. This eliminates the difficult stage of precise localization of points, which is required for acupuncture. The influence is carried out on rather large treatment zones, and the skill of using the plate is acquired after several lessons next to an experienced mentor.
Guasha massage includes 3 main methods of influence: se-gua - quick movements, with strong pressure (dispersion method); bu-gua - slowly with weak pressure; ping-boo ping-se: slowly with strong pressure. Scrapers of various configurations are used from jade or the horn of Chinese animals. The massage is carried out with a special oil. The session lasts 20-25 minutes. The effect of exposure comes immediately. At first, the treatment area becomes very red, a burning sensation may appear. Then, on the skin in places on which the pathological process is projected, hemorrhages appear - "sha" spots. Thus, the "waste" of this process appears on the skin. The spots can be almost black - this is "lifeless" blood. The appearance of these hemorrhages may frighten the patient, but the procedure itself is usually not very painful. At the site of hemorrhage, bruises subsequently appear, which quickly disappear - after 2-3 days. After the session, severe fatigue may appear, as after physical exertion.
The effect of gaush massage often occurs during the procedure. Therefore, it can be used in the acute phase to relieve severe symptoms of the disease. The treatment process can go through an exacerbation. For the treatment of diseases, the frequency of the massage procedure is necessary 1-2 times a week after the disappearance of the bruises from the previous massage. The course includes 10 to 20 sessions. It is advisable to conduct such courses 2 times a year.
