Meridians are energy pathways of the body and named for the location and function. Qi (chi) is the energy of life. Acupressure points each have function(s) to help treat different ailments from headaches to back pain, insomnia, seizures and so much more.

Gua Sha
(gua: scrape, sha: redness on the skin)
Incorporated into your massage session, gua sha, or “scraping the skin” to improve health. This is an effective way to help the body heal itself, with increased blood circulation in the body. Breaking up stagnation and allowing your body’s systems to go back to proper functioning will help you feel better. Gua sha can be used to treat headaches, wrinkles, sinus problems, cold hands and feet, mobility issues, plantar fasciitis, local foot pain, tennis and golfer’s elbows. No need to be alarmed if you notice petechiae, redness under the skin. This is not uncommon, as it is the way the body is opening up the blocked channels of the body. *Clive Witham, Gua Sha, A Complete Self-Treatment Guide
