What is Gua Sha? How do we make a massage?

The Gua Sha is to stimulate the circulation of blood and energy thanks to a massage, carried out with slight pressures using the flat stone, like Diane Giraud, trainer and development care at Seasonly:

To slide the stone, favor an oil like our night serum 

Practical questions:

Put the stone in the fridge? Yes, but only a few minutes. This will boost the "decongestioning" effect, in addition it is quite pleasant.

What form of Gua Sha Choose? To start, choose the most classic (that of Seasonly). This shape will allow you to make a complete massage, in depth, as much on the face as on the body.

How to recognize a real gua sha? It depends on the stone. To be sure, we invite you to buy it on a known and secure site. But Don’t Worry !! Stone matters less than massage itself. "Gua Sha" means "scratching the disease" and at the time, they used cow's horn spatulas, that is to say ...

Where to buy it? Some recommendations: Seasonly, nature and discovery, organic store.

And for a free version? The Gua sha with your fingertips.
In the same way, you can practice this massage using your fingers. As on this video, from 1 minute 37 to 6 min 23:
