What is a Gua Sha?
Gua Sha [pronounced "gwa sja"] is a traditional Chinese healing tool that has been used in China for many, many thousands of years. Gua means "to scratch" and Sha means "red spots/redness".
With a Gua Sha tool and Gua Sha techniques you scrape the skin to remove waste products, accumulated lymph fluid, tension and pain.
It is an easy and effective treatment that stimulates the lymph and blood circulation and gives immediate effect and a more harmonious and relaxed appearance. Sha is an easy and quick Gua Sha facial for facial massage, lymphatic drainage, muscle relaxation and acupressure.
How to use your Flow Gua Sha:
Gua Sha massage is an easy and effective self-treatment technique that can be easily and safely performed at home. You will quickly see visible results.
However, it is important that you use a balm or an oil with your Gua Sha tool. If you want a good oil for your Flow Gua Sha, which is not greasy, you can find our delicious, organic jojoba oil right here.The Flow Gua Sha has the shape of a fish with different sides and ends for different treatments:
- The side of the fish is for lymphatic drainage and lifting.
- The head is for going deep in case of muscle tension, and for a light drainage around the eyes.
- The tail is for the edge of the jaw, cheekbones and eyebrows.
- The tips of the tail are used for acupressure and to work in zig zags in the wrinkles to increase blood circulation in the area and thereby skin renewal.
It is not recommended to use a Gua Sha if you have the following:
- Sunburned skin

- Wounds
- Damaged skin
- Skin cancer
- Swollen lymph glands
- Disease
- Fever
How to cleanse you your Gua Sha:
As they say that crystals carry an energy, it is important that they are cleaned optimally if you want to get the best properties out of them.
You can put your crystal Gua Sha for cleaning in a salt bath made of 3 dl of water and 1 tablespoon of sea salt in 1-24 hours.
You then rinse off the salt with cold water before using it again.
You can also wash it in soap if you want to be sure that any bacteria are completely gone. Always rinse with cold water.
Which crystal should you choose?
The crystals from Calmlish come from many different countries; eg Australia, Brazil, Madagascar, India, Canada and China. Their various properties are based on thousands of years of experience, but they are not scientifically documented.
The crystals perform, in this context, the same "skin care work", therefore in principle you can easily choose the crystal that you think is nicest and attracts you the most. But you can also choose according to the properties the crystals are said to have.
