Correct Method and Sequence For Gua Sha PDF
The sequence for gua sha depends on the health condition, 1st scrub the nape of
neck, then back, then chest, last arms and legs. This is the general principle. The
basic direction for gua sha is based on the "Yin Up / Yang Down" principle from
Chinese meridian theory. As for the method of gua sha, it'll be described in detail
in the following sections.
(1) For the nape of neck and the back, the procedure is:
1. Scrub the nape of neck and the back: From the back of
cervical vertebra, through the thoracic vertebrae, until the
end of coccyx. Separate the path to 2 sections. Scrub one
section at a time.
(3) Scrub arms and legs: Arms and legs, inner side and
outer side are different.
1. Outer side of arm: Scrub from tip of finger toward
elbow and shoulder.

2. Inner side of arm: Scrub from shoulder to elbow and finger tip.
(4) Gua sha tool should be perpendicular to the skin. Always keep the same angle
for every direction.
(5) Only scrub with force in one direction. Don't scrub in return direction.

(6) Scrub evenly, not too quickly, too heavily, too hastily, in order not to let
patient feel scared and painful, affecting the gua sha's result.
(7) The complete gua sha and Ventosa procedure is:
1. Scrub relevant meridian, acupuncture points and body parts according to
patient's condition.
2. Depends on the condition of sha and illness,
select 1 to 3 places, tap the skin lightly with the
plum blossom needle tool.
3. Quickly apply Ventosa on the location tapped
in step 2.
4. Remove the cups after 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Apply moxibustion on these locations 3 to 5
minutes.
(2) Gua Sha Lubricant
Main function is for lubrication. According to ancient Chinese books, in early
days only water was used for lubrication. Later Sesame oil and other oil were
used too. Some Chinese herbs were added in the oil in order to help the flow of
Qi and blood. The gua sha oil developed by the association of Chinese
Scientific Qi Gong has 12 Chinese herbs in the oil. It is very efficient to help the
flow of chi and blood.
Because the main function of gua sha lubricant is for lubrication, any oil like
Ponds, Vaseline can serve the purpose.

When an acute abdominal illness seizures, check the related gua sha area for
B-23, ???, B-20, B-21, B-22. It is easier to find out the cause of illness this way
than checking individual organs. Only need to apply regular pressure
stimulation, then very sensitive response can appear.
3.
The patient should trust the doctor. The effect of treatment will be faster.
If the patient's illness is cancer, or the body of the patient is severely damaged
by external injury, even it is not possible to recover back to original state, with
proper gua sha treatment, the pain can be soothed and the mind will be
relaxed.
Before gua sha the patient should not be hungry, working too hard, tired, not
enough sleep, or too tense.
A patient with backache, 3 or 4 days after gua sha will feel that the backache
is suddenly more serious than before. This is the best symptom. After this day,
your illness is half way cured. Because feeling painful means that your blood
circulation overcomes the obstacle.
Scrub B-22 and Lymph area will cause fever. This is normal response. But the
doctor can not apply too much force while gua sha.
4.
5.
Drink a cup of lukewarm water or cold drinking water (never ice water or hot
water) to improve metabolism.
2 or 3 days after gua sha, you will feel painful at the places of gua sha. This is
normal response.
After gua sha need to rest for 15 minutes. If sweating, need to wipe it out right
away. Never eat oily, sour, spicy food, and food which is hard to digest.
