A guide to Gua Sha crystals
Gua Sha stones are not only a wonderful addition your facial massage, in-clinic and at home, but each stone helps impart an energy to complement your mood. We have worked closely with Bex from Cosmic Cures on a guide to all the Gua Sha stones we offer at the clinic.
A note from Bex:
"It's important to mention that this is all according to holistic therapies and if there are any medical issues then the client should go to a doctor… I always caveat any crystal healing work with this!"
Blue Sodalite
for clarity and communication
What Bex says
Blue Sodalite is a fantastic stone for self-expression. It aids in communication as it helps to expand our awareness of other people's needs, while also giving us the ability to speak our authentic truth. If you're having a discussion or argument, then sodalite promotes the feeling of understanding between parties with a fair exchange of information.
Sodalite is wonderful if you feel you’re not able to access your self-expression, and you want to be able to communicate your needs or opinions with calm precision. Therefore, it’s excellent for working with the Throat chakra. It also helps us connect to our 'inner truth' and as such it can also be used when working to balance and unblock the Third Eye Chakra. Need some crystal-infused clarity? This is the stone for you!
Rose Quartz
for love and calming energy
What Bex says
Known as the ultimate ‘stone of unconditional love’, Rose Quartz is wonderful for all Heart Chakra healing practices. It not only opens us up to love and balances our heart chakra so we can move past pain, but it also enhances our ability to show love to others. Perhaps most importantly, it promotes self-love. It is thought to be effective in attracting new romances and developing intimacy.
The calming, soft pink glow of Rose Quartz helps during stressful times and it's wonderful to have next to the bed to aid a night of restful sleep. It also helps to restore trust and our faith in the love of others, not to mention our ability to show compassion. If you feel you need a dose of loving vibes, choose Rose Quartz.
