We have great respect for the ancient Taoist practices ofGua Sha. We invite you to nourish and care for yourself by calming the nervoussystem and supporting the smooth flow of Qi throughout the body with our UNEDITEDGua Sha Comb. designed to stimulate and circulate the lymphatic system, smoothconnective tissue, release tension, toxins and promote the body’s naturalhealing processes as well as calm the nervous system.

The UNEDITED Gua Sha Comb is designed to be used on thescalp, with either an easy combing or brushing movements to ensure the tips ofthe com glide over the scalp or use the below process. Apply this tool approx.3 times weekly to get the most benefits.

'Gua' means to rub or scrape; Sha is the term used to describe congestion of blood at the surface of the body.

Caution – can cause dermal reddening and potentially minor short-term bruising through the stimulation of soft tissue. (be cautious with pressure.)

This isn’t designed to be a painful treatment however it can be uncomfortable depending on tension levels. Reddening and bruising can occur (toxins being drawn out of the body as described in Chinese medicine).

‘Sha’ – This redness helps bring blood flow to the epidermal layer of skin. With fresh oxygenated blood flooding to this area, it helps improve skin elasticity and regeneration.

Dry, Wet or with Conditioner, either work very well, the idea is that the tool easily glides over skin, through hair. 

45 degree angle, is correct gua sha technique so remember the flatter your stone the better! Never apply stone perpendicular to skin. 

To decongest and encourage lymphatic flow, the pressure must be very light on vessels. Just let to stone glide across the skin. Lymphatic nodes can take more pressure and require more activation than vessels. Each node can be stimulated 10-20 times with deep strokes or scooping movements for effective results. Lymphatic Vessels can be stimulated 5-10 times with gentle strokes.
