Gua sha is a full-body treatment rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Historically, it was used to treat sudden physical collapse due to heatstroke and to relieve seasonal ailments such as the common cold. Its powerful anti-aging benefits were discovered completely by accident. During treatments aimed at addressing these conditions, practitioners began to notice an unexpected improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This serendipitous effect inspired the idea of applying gua sha techniques specifically to the face. Bian Stone – A Healing Mineral from Ancient Times Bian stone is known for its potent healing properties and has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. It originated over 65 million years ago when a meteorite struck the Shandong province in China. Archaeological excavations have uncovered Bian stone tools from the Stone Age, which were used for early surgical and therapeutic purposes. The stone contains over 30 different minerals and naturally emits far-infrared waves, ultrasonic pulses, and negative ions, all of which provide antioxidant benefits at the cellular level. Its high thermal conductivity promotes circulation, relieves muscle tension and pain, and encourages deep relaxation. Each Bian stone tool is handcrafted and polished by skilled artisans, making every piece unique. Our high-quality Bian stones are sourced directly from Shandong—the only place in the world where genuine Bian stone is found. Each tool is carefully selected for its exceptional healing potential.
