Gua Sha

Fall Illness is Not Inevitable

One tool that I use to prevent and treat Fall illnesses is Gua Sha, which means "scraping sha".
Sha is what you see when you press on someone's muscle tissue and see your fingertips leave behind a white mark surrounded by redness. Try this on a friend's neck or shoulders. If you press there and see your fingertips leave a mark, they could use some Gua Sha!

I use a smooth-edged tool to scrap the sha, applying oil and moderate pressure to the tissue. What is revealed are red-to-purple marks, petechia, which fade within 2-4 days. This allows for stagnant blood to leave the area, bringing fresh blood IN.

In addition to treating respiratory conditions, I love this modality for folks with chronically tense/painful neck and shoulder and back muscles.
