Treating Eczema with Gua Sha and Acupoint He Gu: A Natural and Effective Approach

Gua Sha, pronounced "gwah-shah," is a traditional Chinese therapy that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool. This technique promotes blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and releases stagnation within the body. Gua Sha tools are typically made of materials like jade or buffalo horn, known for their smooth edges. The scraping motion of Gua Sha creates temporary redness or petechiae, indicating increased blood flow in the treated area.
