In traditional Chinese Medicine, beauty is found in health. The skin should be smooth and glossy, the eyes bright and full of life. When a person has a certain glow or blooming look, they are said to have good qi – their qi is flowing smoothly, healthily. The same principle applies to facial skin – smooth skin is a sign of wellness. The secret to achieving this in Chinese Medicine is in the use of gua sha , or in modern terms-Gua Sha Therapy.

But this doesn't mean your tools can't be cleaned with ordinary soap and water.
