Description

Facial Area
• Forehead: Start from the midpoint of the hairline on the forehead, then gently and slowly scrape towards the temples on both the left and right sides respectively. You can also start from the midpoint of the forehead or the area between the two eyebrows, and scrape towards the temples separately. This helps promote blood circulation in the forehead, relieve fatigue, and enhance the complexion.
• Around the Eye Sockets: Use a corner of the gua sha board at a 30–45 degree angle. Start from the innermost part of the lower eye socket and gently scrape slowly towards the temples. This can relieve eye fatigue and improve issues such as eye puffiness and dark circles. However, it is important to close your eyes during scraping and avoid pressing the eyeballs.
• Cheeks: Tilt the gua sha board at a 30–45 degree angle, place it on one side of the bridge of the nose, first gently and slowly lift and scrape towards the temples, then pull down from the bridge of the nose to the collarbone area of the neck. This can promote lymphatic drainage in the cheek area, enhance the facial contour, and reduce facial fat.
• Chin: Use the end of the gua sha board at a 30–45 degree angle, place it at the midpoint of the chin. First, scrape along the jawline to the ear, then pull down from the ear to the collarbone area of the neck. This helps improve chin puffiness, firm the skin on the chin, and reduce the appearance of a double chin.
Neck Area
• Anterior Neck: Start from below the chin and scrape down along the midline of the anterior neck to above the collarbone. This helps promote lymphatic circulation in the neck, improve loose neck skin, and reduce neck wrinkles. However, it is important to use a gentle technique and avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the skin and neck blood vessels.
• Posterior Neck: Start from the hairline on the posterior neck and scrape down along the trapezius muscle. This can relieve tension and soreness in the neck muscles, improve blood circulation in the neck, and effectively alleviate neck discomfort caused by prolonged head-down postures. Shoulder Area The main areas to scrape are the trapezius muscle in the shoulder-neck region and the deltoid muscle of the shoulder. Scrape from the neck towards the outer side of the shoulder. This helps relax the shoulder muscles, relieve shoulder stiffness and pain, improve shoulder mobility, and has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on conditions such as frozen shoulder and shoulder-neck syndrome.
Back Area
• Both Sides of the Spine: Use the smooth surface of the gua sha board, scrape down the back at a 45-degree angle with the skin. Start from the neck and scrape down along both sides of the spine until reaching the lower back. You can appropriately increase the force in the areas with thick muscles on both sides of the spine to enhance the stimulating effect. This can regulate the functions of the internal organs and boost the body’s immunity.
• Around the Scapulae: Scrape around the edges and the inner side of the scapulae. This can relieve fatigue and pain in the muscles around the scapulae, improve local blood circulation, and effectively alleviate back discomfort commonly experienced by people who work at desks for long periods.

Arm Area
• Outer Arm: Start from the shoulder and scrape down along the muscles such as the deltoid and triceps brachii on the outer side of the arm towards the wrist. This can promote qi and blood circulation on the outer side of the arm, relieve fatigue in the arm muscles, and has a relaxing effect on people who frequently use their arms, such as typists and athletes.
• Inner Arm: Start from the wrist and scrape up along the muscles such as the biceps brachii on the inner side of the arm towards the shoulder. This helps regulate the qi and blood of meridians such as the Heart Meridian and Pericardium Meridian, has a certain regulatory effect on heart function, and at the same time improves blood circulation and metabolism of the skin on the inner side of the arm.
Leg Area
• Anterior and Outer Thighs: Start from the root of the thigh and scrape down along the muscles on the anterior and outer sides of the thigh towards the knee. This can promote blood circulation in the legs, relieve fatigue and soreness in the leg muscles, and improve issues such as leg swelling and a heavy feeling caused by prolonged standing or sitting.
• Posterior Calves: Start from the hollow behind the knee and push and scrape down towards the ankle. This can stimulate the meridians and acupoints on the posterior side of the calf, promote the circulation of qi and blood in the legs, reduce calf edema, and at the same time alleviate conditions such as calf muscle spasms and pain.
Waist Area
Scrape along the waist muscles from both sides of the spine towards the outer side of the waist. This can relieve tension in the waist muscles, improve blood circulation in the waist, and has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on waist pain caused by conditions such as lumbar muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation.
