Channel Scrubbing (Gua Sha)

Scrubbing Therapy is a type of meridian balance therapy whereby the skin is grazed with a tool (spoon or any tool with dull and smooth edges) so that the blocked energy and toxins are brought to the surface and expelled from the body. 

A bruise much like that resulting from cupping treatment is created on the surface of the skin where the scrubbing treatment occurs. The colour and type of bruising generated varies depending on the type of imbalance and is useful in providing a more detailed health information of the disorder.

How Does It Work?

First, the skin is cleaned and a media (such as a water, herbal ointment or massage oil) is applied to lessen friction on the skin. 

The scrubbing tool is then applied to the area for a fixed time. After scrubbing therapy has taken place, the treated area is left without pressure (such as massage, cupping or acupuncture) for a while.

Benefits

The purpose of scrubbing is to free the meridian energy flow, ease muscle tension, expel the discomfort from the body, rid the body of sluggish energy, strengthen body responses, relieve unwell feelings, and to help the body perform in a balanced condition.
