I have TMJ and I tried this technique. My goodness, it really provided a good deal of relief. I’m going to keep trying this and let you know my progress. 😊
I have all the Lanshin Gua Sha Tools and I absolutely love them! They have helped me a lot to release the tension on my jaw and sinuses, as well as my allergies - they are a real game changer. ✨ Thank you for this video about Bo Jin which was still a bit mysterious to me! Also, I would love a video about strumming please! Your videos are really helpful - I think that my gua sha routine is definitely better since you created your channel. Thank you so much for all your hard work and your will to inform us with good practices - knowledge and respect of TCM are invaluable. 😊❤
I took your Bo Jin course and some nights when I do this I can literally feel the tension melt away. Game changer. This is a great routine for when I’m truly exhausted. Thank you so much, Sandra!
lovely! i've been doing gua sha daily for years. my esthetician recommended it for micro circulation to help with acne. it has also helped repair my skin barrier among other things. just recently learned about bo jin & would love to start incorporating it into my routine as well. thank you!!!
Wow you’re an excellent teacher! So glad I found someone legit to teach me this stuff ❤ thank you 🥰 hope you’ll come out with more tutorials and content 💫💫🙂
I've been doing bojin facials for years and I've always had trouble explaining what it is to my friends / curious askers. (There's a bit of a language barrier between me and the TCM practitioners from China.) Now I can send them your video! Thanks for this :-)
amazing, informed video! you could see the results from just doing the left side with Bo Jin and Gua Sha techniques! once the 60secs was up, you looked directly into camera and you could absolutely see your left cheek was smooth, supple and blumper compared to the unfinished cheek. so glad i found your channel. your presence and delivery are what drew me in more than anything. plus, your culturally practised specific directions/instructions and reasons WHY they are the correct cultural technique and how to correct was all brilliant and IS needed since Gua Sha took hold. great reminder that sometimes people who become idolized arent perfect, make mistakes and are even misinformed. thank you kindly for your time❤
I learn so much. I have the BO JIN tool, l am learning and feel so good. I have involuntary muscle contraction is very painful hopefully I can get some relief
I wonder if you have a more complex issue that could benefit from seeing a local TCM practitioner/Acupuncturist. But keep us posted if it helps! Also sign up for our emails (linkpop in bio) because I do TCM Check-Ins occasionally on Zoom (hope to do them more and possibly even on YT Live) where you can tell me what part of your Gua Sha work needs troubleshooting and I help give you a fix to work with ❤️
7:05 facial mist and massage throughly every corners, if dries, use another round, skin must be dump before putting oil, use few drops at the start (add more if needed) and rub plans together before massage
I love your fun personality. It really adds to your videos. I am really enjoy the education you bring to Traditional Chinese Medicine which I am starting to find interest in.
Hi, could you please make a video where you do the whole guasha routine from the begging until the end? I saw there’s a video that 6 years old, it would be really nice to see something fresh
Thank you for this video🪷🩷🪷 You were wondering if we would like a video on another topic😀 I would really appreciate a video on scalp massage . Thank you
Hi! Thrilled to have just discovered your channel! Love and appreciate your commitment to TCM and your accessible style. Would love to see a Gua Sha tutorial specific for the eye area (hooded lids, dark circles and under eye bags). Thank you!!!🤍
Great video! I see an acupuncturist regularly so I fully believe in the philosophy of TCM. I would love to see everything you can do with bo jin snd guasha, but ESPECIALLY nasal labial folds and marionette lines. This is my biggest complaint about my face--if I'm not actually smiling, I look like I'm frowning!
thank you for this information, I'm more motivated to use gua sha every week cause I'm really busy at school. pls make another video for strumming using gua sha and pls make a video for using gua sha on body like the inner thighs cause it is more tense 💗
Hello, I am brand new to your channel and thus far I think your work and your presentation are impeccable. Thank you very much for being so professional and easy to follow. I have very reactive skin that's prone to rosacea, and I was wondering if gua sha and the other tool are appropriate for me. When you have a chance, can you please let me know? Thanks very much.
Yes, you can do Gua Sha if you have rosacea. Use only gentle pressure and slow strokes on active areas. (For non- active areas, you can use a normal amount of pressure.) Your skin may get red, which is okay, but if it feels irritated, we would pause on the Gua Sha. If you have severe rosacea and/or pustules, consult a practitioner first.
Thank you for all your knowledge Sandra 🙏🏽✨ im in love with all the videos, I’ll start gua sha with your techniques. I have a question: what is the best way to clean the tools that you recommend? Thank you
Okay, now I've found your video, 😊😊 so I still have a few questions. As I understand it, I do BOjin first and Thema GuaSha . (I don't have to stimulate the lymph before either of them, but I open my neck for a minute with movements like in your video - right ? ) my questions : WHY do I have to open my neck? 2. I didn't understand which steps I do ONLY with your BoJin tool and which I do THEN only with GuaSha, because you showed how to do BOJIN technique ALSO with the Gua sha tool - I am now confused hahaha - 3. how long do I do each treatment ? How many minutes? And do I do it every day. Is it too much or is it perfect once a day? day? Morning or evening 5. is your online course with the possibility of German subtitles because my English is not good enough :( and last question : where can I find tutorials where I can make my upper eyelids disappear and do you also have a video for cellulite ?
We like to start with the neck because opening circulation in the neck helps the circulation in the face move better. Bo Jin and Gua Sha are two different techniques that complement each other. Both stimulate the flow and circulation of blood and Qi, but using different types of strokes. The Bo Jin gets deeper into the muscle layers, while Gua Sha strokes are more soothing and smoothing. We like to "disturb the soil" with Bo Jin first, then do the smoothing soothing Gua Sha strokes. We recommend doing Gua Sha at least 3 times a week to see visible results, but once or twice a day is also a great place to start. If you’re looking to see big changes in your face, you can try doing 30-40 minutes of Gua Sha daily for 2-4 weeks, then dropping the duration and frequency to be in a maintenance phase. We are looking into subtitles in other languages but for now we only have them available in English. We just made some classes on working the eye area! Currently we don’t have anything on cellulite.
@@Lanshin It's so great that you're taking the time to answer these questions for me. Not only do I want to practice this treatment and buy your products, but I want to understand how it works. Thank you so much. I hope that you will soon find a tool where you can switch the subtitles in different languages. I have a colleague who has done this and I have to ask her which tool it is, because I really struggle and work with translators and therefore English subtitles would also be a problem for me 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Oh my gosh!!!! Swing Time in Astoria is a hair salon that practices THE BEST head massages on earth-I miss that -all salons should be trained -I thought it was unique and wonderful!
❤Hello..thank you for the video that you are making and all the contents. Can you tell me please where I can buy all this amazing tools Im Europe. Thanks ❤
I used guasha one morning and id like the result coz i instantly seen my face became thinner. But behold because the next morning when i face the mirror, my face is like a baloon, became so much bloated. I feel like all the water is floating on my face drainage
In love learned from you and all your video. THANK YOU for taking the time to post them. I use microcurrent. I would think doing gua sha in-between microcurrent treatment would aid toning the facial muscles. Your thoughts??
Love your channel Thank you for tips on the gua sha Once you have finished the practice do you recommend washing your face to remove the oil? Also is there a day and night version of gua sha or would you do the same routine day and night? ❤❤
great questions! I hope Miss Sandra sees this as I, too, wondered if washing your face AFTER nightly Gua Sha would be advised or actually detrimental to skin, drying it out.
I watched a similar comment one another video, there she said that if the oil doesn't feel too much like it would break you out or cause problem and you use it as a moisturizer, you can choose not to wash and it's okay....but if you choose to wash it you can also do that (imo, the important thing is to keep your skin moisturised whether you wash the oil or not)
Amazing video❤.... I have questions though, some gua shua come with roller too...can i use the roller before or after using gua shua or is it harmful or affect the results? Can i alternate the days between using gua shua and roller? And i use fresh alovera gel as lubricant bcz oils break me out, is this fine?
We tend to prefer using Gua Sha tools instead of rollers to get clinical results. If that works for your skin, then great, but we would probably advise either finding an oil that's good for acneic skin (like sea berry, black seed, etc) or doing Gua Sha instead during your balm/oil cleansing step
Noted! Also if you subscribe to the Lanshin newsletter you get special access to a TCM library for free that has a short tutorial on Gua Sha for around the eyes that you could try to start. We do have a paid class as well that focuses on brows. You can explore that on lanshin.com >> courses. I will also put it on my list for future YT vid!
Thank You for sharing your knowledge. It's nearly 1 year since I'm using Bo-Jin here in Poland for my clients and all of them love it 😍 but still Gua Sha is more popular, lots of people dont even know what's Bo-Jin in here
I would love to do facial massage, guasha and Bo Jin, but every time I apply any pressure or touch my skin at all for a prolonged period of time, I break out 😭 I make sure my hands and face are super clean, but it doesn’t seem to matter…
Oh no😮 maybe you're actually doing it right and it's a kind of skin purge. It happens with some skin creams and the rule is to keep on doing the same until the acne goes away. If you can, go to a tcm practioner, maybe you have other parts of your body to unblock. ❤ I've just googled "breakout after gua sha", there are a lot of interesting information. Looks like you might be doing right. ❤
I'm literally working on this video explaining why and what this happens! And @chocolatefudge5263 is absolutely on the right track here. If the breakouts you get post Gua Sha are small, come to whiteheads quickly, and heal quickly then they are likely a healing response (aka "purge") and you can try continuing to see if it reduces. If the breakouts are more cystic, painful and stagnant post Gua Sha, then my next video should help clear up what's happening and what to do.
@@chocolatefudge5263 Ah, that makes a lot of sense that it would be a purge. I thought that my skin was just being weirdly sensitive but this gives me a bit of hope :D Thanks for the comment!
@@Lanshin Thank you for the reply! :) From what I can remember, it was mostly smaller ones (I’m guessing a purge) but there were a couple larger, painful ones that popped up in an area as well. I look forward to the video!
I would like a video on strumming also individual parts of the face ie jawline, smile lines etc Than you I thoroughly enjoyed your video This is my first time on your channel
As a general average 5-10 minutes of gentle face gua sha is ok daily for most people with neutral skin (no inflammatory disorders). 2-3x a week is good for longer sessions of 20 minutes or longer. Keep in mind I'm referring to how often you can use the Gua Sha that I teach here, not what others do online (ie using iced/frozen tools, or too aggressive technique, etc.)
Everything breaks me out. I have had a hard time finding an oil that I can use with these techniques. Any advice? Watermelon, jojoba, rosehip, sweet almond all break me out.
@@Lanshin That is such great news! I have been watching your videos for a long time but have not tried because of the acne. Looking forward to this video!!

Love your tools where to purchase please?
lanshin.com :)
Are you live in USA?
Why do you hold your fingers to your face to hold the skin during gua sha or bojin? What is the advantage ?
This is called an anchor hand, it is useful to help stabilize the skin (and quite literally anchor it) while you stroke away from that point.
There are so many tools out there, what’s the best equipment. I want to get all I need, what should I get? 😅☺️
I would like to know too. So many tools.
Similarly to a jade roller?
What face oil can you recommend for gua sha?
It depends on your skin type! Check out lanshin.com for some of our favorites :)
Can I use castor oil as the face oil?
Depends on your skin, some with more acneic skin may find it too thick/oily. We like to add a drop of black castor to whatever face oil we are using!

You can also look for Japanese or Asian hair salons - they may not use scalp Gua Sha but many will add on scalp massage services. In LA Blow Me Away Salon also has amazing Head spa headed up by Arissa and Sayaka the West Coast Queens!

Get rid my puffy eyes
It's really..... All the same.
Absolutely outrageous how overpriced the tools and oils are
Our tools are patented designs handcrafted from real stone and put through a rigorous quality-control process. The prices reflects their thoughtful design, quality of materials, and labor spent making and assessing each tool.
Ordered the Lanshin tools and they are superior to any others. Thank you Lanshin for a better experience working with your tools as an Esty and LMT!
@@Lanshin I'm so intrigued by the tools and can't wait to try them. I'm so bummed your clinic is on the other side of the country.
