More than 90% of mothers who recently gave birth reported an increase in milk production and decrease in mastitis related inflammation after three self gentle massages of their chest with our Gua Sha tool. So this is an amazing solution to make the breastfeeding period as long as possible, which strenghens the emotional relationship between you mama and your baby.

Research shows that gua sha helps with key challenges during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Gently stimulating microcirculation right beneath the skin is ideal to prevent stretch marks, help with c-sections scars, engorged breasts, muscle aches, and pains, sleep concerns, and more

 ✔  Gua sha is a wonderful health-promoting technique that babies can benefit from, even if they’re feeling sick.

Whether they’re born through an easy homebirth or a surprise cesarean section, babies can carry stress, muscle tension, or injuries. The light pressure you give helps relax—not challenge—your baby. Gua sha massage for babies provides the same physical and psychological benefits it does for adults:

✔ Reduces stress
✔ Increased sleep
✔ Lower blood pressure
✔ Slower breathing
✔ Increased blood circulation
✔ Calms anxiety
✔ Alleviates coughs and colds
✔ Decreases inflammation
✔Releases tension supports immune   system

Your baby’s skin is their first defense against the impacts of temperature, toxins, and bacteria. Gua sha helps support the skin’s immune function, so it can work best as the mighty protective barrier it’s designed to be.

As an added benefit, gua sha massage releases stress and heightens a sense of well-being in a way that transcends “That feels good.” That's because gua sha strokes also release the feel-good hormone, oxytocin, which helps relieve stress and feelings of anxiety

 Both tools work together to enhance your beauty rituals and pair perfectly with a serum or facial oil for better absorption. Start with a clean face and prep skin with a facial oil or serum to enhance the glide of the tools and nourish the skin.
Face Technique :
 For the gua sha tool:
1) Keep the tool flat against the face and begin with the forehead. Scrape in an upwards motion from the eyebrows to the hairline.
2) Move to the cheeks and scrape in an outwards motion starting from the crease of the nose until the ear.
3) Move to the jawline and use the end of the gua sha tool with the two curves.
4) Start from the chin and scrape until the ear. Gently massage the gua sha tool into the ear to release tension.
5) For the under-eye area, very gently scrape the gua sha from the inner corner of the eye outwards to the temple.

 Because the area is so sensitive, it is important to only apply light pressure. For the facial roller
 1) Start in the middle of the face and roll outwards across the cheeks.
 2) Move to the eyebrows and roll upwards across the forehead.
3) Move below the lower lip and roll downward across the chin. Due to natural variations in stone, every jade tool is unique in pattern and color. The stones + crystals we use are authentic and natural. We do not artificially dye or treat the stones to let their true beauty shine through.

Body Technique :

We use the stone for the body and not the roller.

STEP 1 Apply oil to the area you want to work on. Preferably from a spray bottle, as oily fingers are the no. one reason why gua sha’s break.
 STEP 2 Using side 1, move the Gua Sha briskly with light to medium pressure up and down to smooth out adhesions in the superficial fascia layer. You can also move the Gua Sha from side to side but never in circles. Continue till skin is slightly pink.
STEP 3 Using side 3, scrape with medium to hard pressure in the direction of the lymph, which is always towards the heart. Repeat the scrapes in one area 20-60 times before you move to a new part. It's the repeated scrapes in the same area that will create a vacuum which pulls toxins to the surface of the skin for elimination.

Duration :
It is important that you continue to scrape the same place at least 5 times and preferably up to 60 (for faster results). It is through repeated scraping that create a vacuum under the skin that draws waste materials up to the surface of the connective tissue, so that it can be removed by the lymphatic system. It must be a firm pressure, but not necessarily hurt. However the tense and stagnant areas will typically a bit. These areas will tend to bruise easily.
You can do body gua sha daily until you are satisfied with the result.
