Gua Sha Treatments
What is Gua Sha Stone Medicine and how can it help you?
Ling Shu, one of the earliest existing Chinese Medicine texts states ‘all illness is the result of separation from Spirit, and that the superior practitioner helps guide the patient to rediscover this connection”
The Gua Sha treatments offered by Clare use various Gua Sha tools made of different stones ( crystals) and energetic healing properties, contextualised by the philosophy of Chinese Medicine, the 10 Reflexology Zones, and Facial Reflexology.
Gua Sha has become a popular beauty trend on social media recently however it has been around in Eastern medicine for centuries and it's benefits are more then just skin deep.
Gua means " to scrape" and Sha means redness. Therefore it is a treatment which gently massages the skin and underlying tissues. In very simple terms by stimulating the microcirculation, neural pathways send messages to the brain to heal areas of the body. Clare uses ancient and modern techniques to provide a gentle and relaxing yet effective treatment to life and tone the face.
The Gua Sha Mastery techniques can address concerns such as improving lymphatic drainage, smooth out lines and wrinkles, sculpt along the jaw and be a natural alternative to botox. It is also researched to reduce pain, inflammation, headaches, migraines, sinus congestion, bruxism, tinnitus as well as alleviating blood and lymph stagnation, and improved Yin energy and balance.

Gua Sha Face Lift
Facial Gua Sha is a gentle yet effective massage, which has been adapted to glide and rub using different stone tools over the skin, and although the technique does exfoliate and creates microtrauma where there is congestion, it is safe and does not normally cause marks or bruising. The most mainstream uses are to promote lymphatic drainage, smooth out lines and wrinkles, sculpt the jawline, and be a natural alternative to botox and fillers. However, it is also a useful tool to lift and tone the face, release tight muscles, help with bruxism, headaches, and sinus congestion, and when you add in Stone Crystal Medicine, this creates a deeper, more profound healing and relaxation effect. Expect to have glowing refreshed skin after this treatment.
Facial Gua Sha is a a superb stand alone treatment and also lovely combined with Cranial Gia Sha, Facial Reflexology and Zone Face Lift
Cranial Gua Sha
Cranial Gua Sha uses a combination of meridian lines, acupressure points and stone Gua Sha tools to gently stimulate and massage the scalp, head, neck and sides of the face.
Cranial Gua Sha is effective for releasing tension and strain, headaches, bruxism, tinnitus, sleep issues, lifting energy, clear and calm the mind, it can stimulate hair growth. It may support those with neurological issues, dizziness and can benefit the eyes and ears.
No oil is required for this treatment and can be applied when unable to work the face.
Cranial Gua Sha can be a lovely stand alone treatment or can be combined with Facial Gua Sha. It also complements Facial Reflexology and Indian Head massage.
Cranial and facial GuaSha work beautifully when combined together or for the ultimate holistic relaxation treatment I'd recommend an Indian Head Massage, Facial Reflexology and Gua Sha package ( choose either facial or cranial)
