HISTORY Gua means ‘scrape’ and Sha means ‘petechiae’ (tiny, flat red, purple spots) in Chinese Gua Sha began as a full body treatment—which most people don’t realise since facial techniques have recently become popular. The key point is to scrape the skin (commonly the upper back) to invigorate blood flow, release heat-toxins, stimulate lymphatic drainage, activate various points of the body, and bring helpful cells to the area by stimulating an immune response. Sometimes this action creates some discoloration on the skin, which can look dramatic. But rest assured, there is no pain and the petechiae usually goes away within days. We recommend seeing a licensed practitioner for Gua Sha if you experience any medical-related concerns Our Shungite is sourced directly from Karelia in Russia, the only place on earth that it can be found. We test each piece for its authenticity and can therefore GUARANTEE that it is genuine. As Shungite has such a high carbon content you may find that you get some black deposits on your skin when handling it. Don’t worry, this is normal, and the residue is completely harmless and can be easily removed. We recommend that as soon as you receive your Shungite, use a soft damp cloth to remove any loose dust. To keep your Shungite Product looking in top condition all you need to do is wipe with a soft damp cloth.
