Interestingly, some historians have even reported its origins to be traced back to the time of the Ancient Egyptians.

  Utilising the many qualities contained within certain stones and crystals for Gua Sha msssage was commonplace amongst oppulent ladyfolk throughout the Far East, mainly due to the rarity of such pure stones.

In recent times, celebrity make-up artists and massage therapists in the West have discovered the benefits of using crystals for Gua Sha Face Massage.
