The Essence of White Jade: Healing Properties Unlike Any Other

White jade is a rare and exquisite type of jade known for its medicinal properties. When used in Gua Sha as a massage tool, it not only works on a physical level but also opens the brow chakra – promoting emotional stability and clearing negative energy. This makes it an essential addition to your self-love routine, offering rejuvenation for both body and mind.

The Multifunctional Sides: Maximizing Your Gua Sha Experience

An authentic jade gua sha stone comes with various edges designed to cater to different body parts:

SHORT EDGE › targets under eyes and sinuses for optimal relief

COMB EDGE › stimulates facial and scalp energy flow 

U-EDGE › fantastic for sculpting arms, legs, shoulders, jaw line, cheekbone, brow bone, back of neck

SMOOTH EDGE › designed for massaging tissues across the body

LONG EDGE › perfect for contouring sides of neck, underneath cheekbones

POINTED TIP › ideal for releasing facial tension, tight muscle, dimpled skin

Revel in Cool Relief by storing your Gua Sha Stone in the fridge

For a refreshing experience, store your white jade gua sha stone in the refrigerator before use. The cold temperature of the stone boosts blood circulation, increases lymphatic drainage, and reduces inflammation. Remember to gently stroke upwards and wiggle at the end of each stroke to release tension and fluid. Store it in a clean resealable bag for sanitary purposes.

Maximize Absorption: The Perfect Pairing with Oils or Serums

Before diving into your Gua Sha session, prep your skin with a nourishing oil or serum. This not only allows the gua sha stone to glide smoothly over the skin but also enhances the absorption of essential nutrients – leading to beautiful, radiant skin.

Lymphatic Drainage: A Pathway to Rejuvenation

Gua Sha is renowned for stimulating lymphatic drainage, which flushes toxins from the body and enhances overall well-being. Regularly practicing this technique effectively reduces puffiness and supports healthy skin.

Not all Gua Sha Stones are of quality. Invest in an all natural, premium and authentic — pure, firm and the perfect shape and size to encourage ritual use. This practice only takes a few minutes from start to finish and awakens your sense while leaving your skin with a smooth glow.

Our team ritualizes Gua Sha Stone sculpting in the morning just before working out to circulate stagnant fluids and reducing puffiness and inflammation. “This tool is very effective and fits perfectly in your hand… soft, gentle strokes across your skin provide immediate relief.” says Creative Director, Michael Tribby. “I always apply Empower or Evolve from our Trinity Body Oil Set with use.”

Gua Sha may be ritualized daily for holistic detox purposes and overall body care. We recommend making the conscious choice to ritualize this holistic practice permanently for maximum beauty and wellness benefits.

Gua Sha is not recommended directly before sleep as the practice circulates blood flow which may prevent sleep. Please refrain from applying heavy pressure as this may irritate your skin leading to bruising. To learn more, click here.
