Boost your energy frequency with the following obsidian gua sha massage tools.
Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, the art of gua sha is a tried and true healing modality that has been used for centuries to help your "qi" (pronounced "chi") - your energy flow. Many practitioners use a smooth-edged tool to press along the skin to increase circulation and stimulate stagnant energy.
It is believed that qi blockage (much like blocked blood circulation) can lead to health problems. Gua sha can help improve health conditions - including inflammation, headaches, anxiety and fatigue.

Obsidian Gua Sha tools are perfect for soothing massage to move static energy. The benefits of Obsidian itself possess many healing properties that can support mental relaxation and healing. Obsidian is made from naturally occurring volcanic glass that is smooth and cool to the touch. The stone is often used as a protective element for spirituality because of its ability to absorb negativity and neutralize it. Obsidian is also considered a grounding stone and has a strong connection to the earth.
Create your shaving ritual by pairing a shaving massage tool with your choice of moisturizer or oil (we recommend body lotion, body oil, or nourishing body cream for the ultimate glide and skin quenching hydration). Gently smooth the shaving tool in long sweeping motions along the contours of your arms, legs, torso, feet and hands. Be sure to move the Obsidian massage tool in an outward direction (not back and forth) and avoid any bony areas.
Try this once a week or once a full week to feel and see the difference in your body. The massage provides mental refreshment and physical relaxation while helping the moisturizer absorb better into the skin. To rejuvenate from head to toe, deepen your Ritual Obsidian Roller and our Skin Transformation Cream, by all means.
