Description
The use of a Gua Sha stone or jade scraper to sculpt the face and relieve inflammation is growing in popularity, but the traditional Chinese healing method is nothing new.
“The jade stone has been around for centuries. It was used in China centuries ago and it was really thought to get rid of the bad energy,” explains Dr. Priya Nayyar, a dermatologist and owner of Dermaclinique in St. Pete.
The smooth-edged stone is used for facial massage, to help drain the lymph nodes.
“The lymph system in the body gets rid of toxins and extra fluid, so by doing a firm massage and helping that fluid along, you can technically decrease some of the fluid or volume retention,” Dr. Nayyar explains.
