I’m so proud of my new creation, my Pure Silver Gua Sha tool! After months of development, I finally came up with the perfect piece that improves upon the classic Chinese tool.

My improvements:

Making it in pure silver, which provides both durability and antibacterial properties. Silver has a proven track record as a powerful antimicrobial agent fighting infections and aiding in cold and flu prevention, allergies, sinus infections, wound healing, and more.

I added a finger divot to the piece as well so that it's easier to hold. The weightiness of silver gliding across your face and muscles is the ultimate experience in luxury.

By carefully scraping this tool along the face, you can depuff the face, relax tense muscles and activate slack ones, encourage lymphatic drainage, ease migraines and headaches. The improvement in circulation can aid in draining dark circles and ease acne and improve the overall health of your skin. The key is that it does so by not just targeting the surface, but the skeletal and muscular structure, the whole ecosystem that is your physical body.

The miniature size is perfect for slipping in your purse for on-the-go use. It's also the perfect size to target your orbital eye area and detail work. Stick it in the fridge and use it to massage in your favorite eye cream--it's a match made in heaven.

The larger size is perfect for a full body experience. It has such a substantial weight to it you barely need to use any pressure and you feel tension melt away throughout your muscles and joints, it’s indescribable until you try it. Have this piece on your vanity and your bathroom immediately transforms into a spa.

I love using the Gua Sha to massage my TMJ muscles, either scrape upwards or downwards in quick strokes, or press the muscle with one of the points and massage in a circular motion. You don't realize how much stress you're internalizing until you rub out your jaw muscles!

Drag it along your neck below your ear and you'll immediately feel lymph drainage, if this is a problem for you.

Scrape it from the edge of your nose crease outwards to your temples clear your sinuses. Run it across any and all tight muscles, ligaments, and joints you have.

Glide it against your forehead upwards if you have a migraine.

Rub it along your foot arch, Achilles heel and toes if you have achy feet from working all day or constantly suffer from poor walking posture.

Each piece is totally sculpted by hand. Any imperfections you may see do not affect the efficacy of the tool at all, and are merely a reflection of the hard work and love that went into making it.

Here are some more tips on how to use it:

Place the flat side of the board flush against the base of the back of your neck, and stroke it upward along your spine to your hairline. Then stroke upward on either side of your spine, from the top of each shoulder to the hairline.

Position the flat side of the board on the top of the shoulder, and stroke it upward to where your jaw meets your ear. Repeat on the other side.

Place the curved notch of the board where your collarbones meet, and drag it up the midline of the throat up to (but not over) your chin. Repeat on each side of the throat.

Position the notch of the board so it hugs the center point of your chin, and glide it along the edge of your jaw toward each ear.

Run the flat side of the board under one cheekbone, from the corner of your mouth toward your ear. Repeat on the other side.
