I have not added to the blog for several weeks because we have been so busy selling jade! I started selling jade in 2000, introduced jade bangle bracelets, jade rollers, jade pendants, and now they are very popular. These past few weeks there has been so many orders for jade gua sha tools that I have had to order more from my jade carver in China.
Ying Yu Jade gua sha tools are made to Chinese medicine standards. My jade carver buys the genuine and natural jade directly from the jade mine, so we know it is truly "real" jade. My Chinese doctor friend in Beijing works with the jade carver to make sure these are made to "international standards". Customers expect "perfect" jade, and want green color that is fairly even on each tool, and no imperfections, like scratches, or edges slightly irregular. Jade is natural, and there is a Chinese saying: "the jade carver always leaves something behind", meaning the natural-ness sometimes doesn't seem "perfect" to customers, But they still work great!
One of our most popular jade gua sha tools has a "comb" on one edge. You use the tool for scraping the qi as usual, then you have an option for scraping the head and scalp with the points of the comb. I use one of these every day. I used to have to wash my shoulder length hair every 1-2 days, and since I started scraping the top of my head with the points, my scalp is more healthy, hair growing in more evenly and slight thicker on the top where I was getting "bald", and it feels so good.
The jade gua sha tools are a size that fits most hands. The shape and style is very versatile. You can work with one, or several, depending on how you perform gua sha. Gua sha is the scraping of the skin over the meridians to keep the qi flowing smoothly, for health and wellness.
Ying Yu Jade also includes a basic pamphlet of instructions how to use gua sha.
After you start using gua sha, and feel the benefits, keep your gua sha tool nearby. When you look at it, your "qi" may let you know it's time for more.
