Gua Sha (return to top)
Sometimes called scraping, Gua Sha is a technique of using the rounded edge of a special tool to scrape the surface of the skin. It promotes circulation and normalizes metabolic processes by eliminating metabolic waste congesting surface tissues and muscles. Like cupping, Gua Sha often results in skin discoloration that fades within a few days.
Moxibustion (return to top)
The burning of a dried herb called Artemesia , commonly known as mugwort, over specific areas of the body. Moxibustion increases blood circulation to reduce pain and promote healing. It comes in various forms and can be applied directly to the body before heating, or held an inch or two above the skin surface. Beth uses a special form to reduce the smoke and ash produced.
