Gua Sha: The Secret to Radiant and Firm Skin
Gua Sha is an ancient beauty ritual that is transforming modern skincare routines.
Used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, this tool boosts blood circulation and relaxes facial muscles. At Orgatus, we offer three types of Gua Sha crafted from natural stones, each hand-carved by skilled Moroccan artisans.
The Origins of Gua Sha
(ORGUA SHA)
The Origins of Gua Sha (ORGUA SHA)
Gua Sha has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine.
The name literally means “to scrape” (gua) and “heat” or “illness” (sha). Originally used to relieve muscle tension, stimulate blood circulation, and support healing, this technique is now embraced in modern skincare routines for its powerful aesthetic and therapeutic benefits.
Sourced from the Moroccan mountains, our GUA SHA is carved from ancient, precious stones using ancestral craftsmanship. Each natural stone is hand-shaped by expert Moroccan artisans, preserving its natural energy while creating an ergonomic shape perfect for facial care.
Our GUA SHA is extracted using eco-friendly methods, then cut, refined, and polished using only water. This 100% natural process maintains the stone’s intrinsic properties and original beauty without any chemical, resin, or color treatments.
