Gua Sha has the functions of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, relaxing tendons and dredging collaterals, expelling toxins and pathogenic factors, and clearing heat and reducing "internal heat" (excessive heat in the body).
It is more suitable for patients with qi - stagnation and blood - stasis, toxin accumulation, and large amount of heat - toxin and damp - pathogenic factors.
Gua Sha is a method of external treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. Guided by the theory of meridians and acupoints in traditional Chinese medicine, through special utensils and corresponding manipulation techniques, repeated scraping is carried out on the body surface to make the local skin show dark - red or red bleeding points, thereby achieving the purpose of treatment.
Gua Sha can play the roles of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, relaxing tendons and dredging collaterals, expelling toxins and pathogenic factors, and clearing heat and reducing "internal heat", and is more suitable for patients with qi - stagnation and blood - stasis, toxin accumulation, and large amount of heat - toxin and damp - pathogenic factors.

The appearance of purple-black colour after Scraping (Gua Sha) may be a normal phenomenon, which can be attributed to several reasons such as qi stagnation and blood stasis, excessive dampness, and blocked meridians.
1. Normal Phenomenon: Gua Sha is a common traditional Chinese medicine treatment method. As Gua Sha oil contains certain ingredients that promote blood circulation and resolve stasis, it often leads to purple-black discoloration of the skin after the procedure. This is typically a normal physiological response and does not require special treatment, resolving spontaneously over time.
2. Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis: Prolonged exposure to excessive stress can hinder the proper circulation of Qi and Blood within the body. During the Gua Sha process, promoting blood circulation by Gua Sha the skin may reveal these symptoms.
3. Excessive Dampness: High levels of dampness in the body can increase blood viscosity, thereby affecting blood circulation and intensifying stagnation and congestion, leading to the appearance of purple-black color after Gua Sha. This condition is often accompanied by symptoms like loss of appetite and indigestion.
4. Blocked Meridians: According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, meridians serve as channels for the flow of Qi and Blood within the human body. If these meridians are blocked, it can result in qi and blood stagnation, manifesting as purple-black Gua Sha marks.
