Apply a generous amount of oil so that the Gua Sha can glide easily across your skin. Apply more if needed while using the Gua Sha. Gently stroke using moderate pressure in the direction of the heart on your body. Repeat the movement 5-10 times on each area. To promote full body lymphatic drainage, use on legs, torso, arms, and neck. The Gua Sha feels amazing when warmed, run under hot water.
The combed side of the tool eliminates tension and releases toxins, while the smooth side is meant for “scraping away” what’s released afterwards. Use both sides – first the combed side and then the smooth side.

• Activate your key lymph nodes located around your body by gently tapping them: around the collarbones, armpits, bikini line and behind the knees.
• Practice deep belly breathing as you massage and do 5-10 strokes on each area.
• Now your body is ready for your lymphatic drainage massage. In these next steps you are going to help your body move fluid to your lymph nodes, which supports your body’s natural detox flow, promotes a healthy immune system, and helps you achieve a more toned and sculpted body contour.
• ARMS: Hold your Body Gua Sha at a 45 degree angle, glide the tool from the crease of your elbow up to your armpit, working toward your axillary lymph nodes. Move to your lower arm and glide the tool from your wrist to your elbow, then all the way from wrist to armpit.
• CHEST: Fluid from your breasts drains to the lymph nodes in your armpits. Using gentle pressure, glide your tool from the center of your chest to your armpit, then underneath the chest towards the armpit.
• WAIST & STOMACH: Hold your tool in a vertical position and glide it from the side of your waist up to your armpit, then from behind your torso to the front of your body. Glide your tool over your abdominal area in gentle circular motions, working clockwise to help promote digestion and decrease the look of bloating.
• LEGS: Start above your knee and gently stroke upward toward your bikini line area (your inguinal lymph nodes). Massage the back of your thighs gently stroking upward until you reach the gluteal fold. Move to your calves, starting at your ankles in a upward motion towards the back of your knees.
