Made from hand-carved nephrite jade, a precious but extremely durable material believed to
enhance healing properties. The high-quality stone is raw, which means colour may vary,
making every tool unique. The Harmonise Gua Sha Tool comes with a plush suede dust
pouch to keep it protected while not in use.

Follow the guidelines below, developed in collaboration with an experienced Traditional
Chinese Medicine practitioner. Go softly – the aim is to stimulate the scalp without scratching
or tugging on your strands. For best results, perform gua sha two to three times a week.

1. Using the curved edge of the tool, stroke in an upward direction from the base of the neck
towards the nape, using mild to moderate pressure. You can also add a little wiggle to the
pressing action if that feels good to you. Repeat the movement from the centre of the back of
your neck towards your ear 5 to 10 times.

2. Using the long, smooth edge of the tool, work your way backwards from the hairline towards
the crown of the head, pressing gently at that point, then moving slowly down the nape of the
neck. You can use a combination of gua sha techniques here: stroking, circling, tapping, or
pressing – whatever feels good.

3. Now, repeat step 2, but instead, circle your gua sha tool five to ten times in one direction,
then 5 to 10 times in the reverse direction. Start at the hairline and move backwards until you’ve
reached the nape of the neck. To further stimulate the scalp, gently tap or press along the
midline with the comb side of the tool.

4. Starting at the hairline on one side, move your Harmonise tool around the ear in an arc,
tapping, pressing or gliding. This is an area traditionally used to encourage healthy sleep, so
targeting it can calm and soothe. If you like, you can incorporate rhythmic breathing into this
part of the routine for a moment of calm.

5. There are many acupuncture points just inside the hairline used in acupuncture for facial
rejuvenation. You can use the same techniques we’ve used for the scalp to revitalise the face, too
- try circling, tapping, pressing or gliding to help promote blood circulation, stimulate collagen
production and improve muscle tone. Post-use, gently clean your gua sha with warm soapy
water or rubbing alcohol and pat dry with a hand towel.

WARNINGS

Do not perform gua sha on areas with bruised or broken skin, active skin infections, varicose
veins, sunburn, scarring or rash. Take caution when using gua sha on joints and delicate areas. If
you have a medical condition or take medication, it's best to consult your healthcare
professional before using a gua sha tool.
