The term “qi” refers to the energy that circulates throughout the body, as described by traditional Chinese medicine. It is said to be responsible for both a person’s bodily and mental wellness.

It is believed that the kidneys are the source of qi and that it travels through the body in a network of channels known as the meridians. It is believed that there are twelve primary meridians, each of which is associated with a distinct organ. According to traditional Chinese medicine, illness results from an imbalance in the flow of qi. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and gua sha are some of the practices that are utilized in traditional Chinese medicine to bring about a state of balance.

In Gua Sha, a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, the patient’s skin is scraped using a tool that is both smooth and curved to stimulate circulation and has a therapeutic effect. It is believed that the technique dates back to the 7th century, and it is being used today for a range of diseases, including the reduction of pain, the prevention of colds and flu, and the treatment of digestive issues.

When doing Gua Sha, a tool made of jade or another type of stone that is polished and curved is often used. After applying oil to the surface of the skin, the practitioner will scrape the instrument in a manner that is both hard and soft over the surface of the skin. The scrape should not be uncomfortable; nevertheless, some patients may feel bruising following the treatment due to the nature of the procedure.
