Massage gouache - ancient Chinese power for modern man
Ancient Chinese gouache massage has not lost its actuality to this day. Moreover, in China it is included in the healthy lifestyle system as an element that promotes active longevity. Medical centers of different countries, thoroughly studying Chinese massage gouache, willingly learn it as a curative and preventive procedure.
The name of the massage comes from two words: "gua" - scrape in one direction, "sha" - bad. The whole process is performed using an oval or horn shaped scraper. Scraper from jade and buffalo horns are suitable for the face. For the body, except for them, scrapers of tortoise shell, copper coins, porcelain spoons and combs of silver are used.
The massage technique provides for three types of impact: fast with strong pressure, slow with weak pressure and slow with strong pressure. Preliminary, a special mixture of safflower and sesame oils is applied to the skin. This mixture has high moisturizing and antitoxic properties. In addition, it does not leave greasy and sticky marks on the body.
Gouache massage is characterized by peculiar manifestations on the skin. In the beginning, the massaged areas strongly turn red and the burning may occur. Then in those places where the pathological process is localized, dark spots appear, almost black. Precisely, this is how the "waste" of the process, containing a significant amount of lactic acid, is collected. When running processes in places of hemorrhage, pain may appear, which disappears immediately after the cessation of exposure. During the massage you need to get rid of the toxins in time. For this purpose, the massive areas of the body are cleaned and wiped.
The procedure is about 20 minutes. Each subsequent session should be performed immediately after resorption with hematomas from the previous massage, i.e. 1-2 times a week.
Gouache massage is a powerful physical effect on the body. It is not surprising that immediately afterwards the patient experiences severe fatigue, a need for rest and thirst. On this day, it is recommended to drink 1.5-2 liters of warm water. This will contribute not only to the restoration of the body's water balance, but also to the rapid elimination of toxins.
The therapeutic process, most often, occurs through the exacerbation of the disease. In Chinese medicine, this is considered a good indicator of healing. By the end of the course, the patient's condition improves and a persistent therapeutic effect sets in, which, preferably, is supported by an annual massage. The recommended number of treatment sessions is 10-20.
