Gua sha is a form of therapy often used in traditional East Asian medicine that involves using a tool to apply pressure and scrape the skin to produce a therapeutic reddish-purple “sha” on the skin. Gua sha can be used to relieve muscle pain and tension, break up adhesions and scar tissue, reduce inflammation, benefit the immune system, and protect against oxidative stress. There is a great deal of research showing varied benefits, from reducing premenstrual symptoms and adjusting hormonal levels, to dealing with headaches, fevers, and digestive disorders. St J is a wonderfully softening massage oil for tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia). Beautiful deep red oil. Made with love in Oregon from sustainably wildcrafted organic herbs.
