Chinese massage gouache appeared around 550 BC. The scrapers found by archaeologists serve as proof of this - they are the ones who massage the gua sha.
The name is translated as “remove all the bad”. Guasha massage has a cosmetic effect.
The Guasha wooden scraper can be considered universal, as it is suitable for massage of different parts of the body, due to its elongated shape, protrusions and concavities.
Hillary wood scraper for body massage is made of natural oak wood with a special technology: dry wood, passing through 4 types of sanding and having a special coating - a combination of oil with OSMO TopOil 3028 hard wax, which crystallizes the top layer of wood.
Oil and wax penetrate deeply into wood surfaces, making them water and dirt repellent, strong and durable. At the same time, the wood retains its ability to breathe.
The unique property of the oak wood scraper is that it has a coating - Oil with hard wax OSMO TopOil 3028, which:

Regular massage with a wooden scraper stimulates the subcutaneous fluid, including lymph, eliminating cellulite. The small size of the scraper allows you to take it on a business trip. It is convenient to hold it in your hands during the massage procedure, all this ensures comfort in use.
Mode of application:
Pre-application of serum or heating oil will make the massage more pleasant and effective.
The wooden scraper has sharper edges, so it goes deeper into the skin and, accordingly, reaches deeper muscle layers. Its touch can sometimes be painful, especially when compared to stone massagers.
Therefore, we advise you to start with the softest zones. (buttocks, thighs) and very light strokes, increasing strength very gradually. Otherwise, the massage technology is no different - the scraper is held at an angle of 45 °, moves from top to bottom or from center to side.
You need to massage one line until redness, but keep in mind that after a special active massage, bruises and hemorrhages can sometimes remain (this is normal for gua-sha massage, provided that you do not feel severe pain or discomfort during the process).
