Product Details
A signature tool in the EarthTonics Botanical Facial, now available for home use. Comes with instructions for a simple sculpting ritual to take your homecare to the next level.
Gua Sha is an ancient healing technique from Traditional Chinese Medicine. This process, originally used all over the body for clearing stagnation and relieving pain, has since been adapted with great success for facial rejuvenation. A flat piece of material— in this case kansa bronze— is guided over the skin in a gentle scraping motion from the midline of the face out to the edges, following the contours of the face.
“I love this tool because it combines my favorite facial sculpting technique with the incredible healing power of kansa. I call it paleo-microcurrent, because it really amplifies the energy of the cells… skin immediately brightens, and is noticeably more lifted and less puffy.” - Daron, founder + formulator -
Ingredients
Kansa is a special type of bronze, known in India as "the healing metal." It's a great conductor of the body’s natural bio-electricity. It is used to direct life force energy through the tissues to release tension and excess pitta (heat + inflammation). It clears energetic blockages and detoxifies acidity from the tissues for a clearer, brighter complexion.

Directions
Use the edge of the tool at about 20 degrees, so you feel some of the flat side of the gua sha against your skin.
Begin with very light strokes down the sides of the neck to the collarbone to begin the flow of lymph.
Draw your gua sha from the midline of your face to your ear/hairline, following these latitudes: jawline, fleshy cheek, cheekbone, undereye (gently!), and forehead.
Clear the "offramp" of fluid at the jawline in front of your ear (this is where all lymph from the face eventually flows). Use light gentle strokes down the neck.
Use the tool to lift the brow and forehead, up and away from your third eye.
