Gua Sha Step-by-Step Video Guide

Course overview

Modern research shows Gua sha produces an anti-inflammatory and immune protective effect that persists for days following a single Gua sha treatment. This may account for its effect on pain, stiffness, fever, chill, cough, wheeze, nausea and vomiting etc., and why Gua sha is effective in acute and chronic internal organ disorders including liver inflammation in hepatitis. This video is a visual companion to the textbook on Gua sha by Dr. Arya Nielsen. (Gua sha, a traditional technique for modern practice. 2nd edition. ed. Edinburgh: Churchill Livingstone Elsevier; 2013.) It details the essentials of safe and effective Gua sha practice and shows the step-by-step application of the technique with patients.
