We haven’t been sleeping.

The past few weeks we finally had our breakthrough. As a small business we received tons of support from the community causing our items to get sold out. It was one of the best times and it really warmed our heart. We’re so grateful to say the least.

While we are working our best to get our stocks back to Amazon, we realized that an unauthorized reseller are using our brand.

This is so heartbreaking and we’ve spent nights checking back and forth on what we can do. Countless email support and reporting. It’s really hard when someone is using the brand we worked so hard for in the past couple of years.

We understand that businesses need to thrive. But using our brand, our name, our information, are not something we can tolerate.

Astra Belle does not offer reselling at the moment. We are not related nor authorized another store to sell our gua sha. When you are buying our item, please make sure that you only order through our storefront Astra Belle and that it is being shipped by Amazon.

By doing so, rest assured that you will get the quality you deserve and you can get your item quicker.

In the meantime, we’re cooking something for you! This is to ensure that we only provide the best to our community!

Again, we thank YOU for your support throughout the years. We’ll never make it without you.

Why Gua Sha Deserves a Place in Your Self-Care Routine

In the ever-evolving landscape of wellness trends, one practice has stood the test of time and continues to gain momentum in 2024: Gua Sha. This ancient Chinese healing technique, once relegated to the realms of traditional medicine, has now captured the attention of modern-day wellness enthusiasts worldwide. With its myriad of benefits for both physical and mental well-being, it’s no wonder why Gua Sha has become a staple in many self-care routines.

In a fast-paced world where stress and anxiety are rampant, people are seeking holistic approaches to health that go beyond conventional methods. Gua Sha, which translates to “scraping sand,” involves using a smooth-edged tool to apply pressure and friction to the skin, promoting circulation and releasing tension. While this practice dates back centuries, its resurgence in 2024 is driven by a renewed interest in natural remedies and holistic healing.

From a scientific standpoint, Gua Sha operates by stimulating the body’s lymphatic system, facilitating the elimination of toxins and decreasing inflammation. Moreover, it enhances blood circulation to the skin, supplying it with oxygen and nutrients while assisting in the disposal of waste products. This mechanism not only enhances the skin’s texture but also yields significant effects on general well-being, such as bolstering immunity and alleviating muscle soreness.

Key Benefits of Incorporating Gua Sha into Your Routine

  1. Radiant Skin: Gua Sha promotes lymphatic drainage and collagen production, leading to a brighter, more youthful complexion.
  2. Stress Relief: The gentle pressure of Gua Sha soothes tension in facial muscles, helping to alleviate stress and promote relaxation.
  3. Improved Circulation: By increasing blood flow, Gua Sha supports the body’s natural healing processes and enhances vitality.
  4. Pain Management: Whether it’s headaches, jaw tension, or muscle soreness, Gua Sha can provide relief from a variety of common ailments.
  5. Mental Clarity: As stress melts away and circulation improves, many people experience heightened mental clarity and focus after a Gua Sha session.

Incorporating Gua Sha into Your Daily Routine: Tips for Success

  1. Choose the Right Tool: Invest in a high-quality Gua Sha tool made from stainless steel, jade, rose quartz, or another smooth material. Check our own Gua Sha, it’s available on Amazon.
  2. Use Gentle Pressure: Avoid applying too much pressure, especially if you’re new to Gua Sha. Let the tool glide smoothly over your skin for best results.
  3. Practice Regularly: Consistency is key when it comes to reaping the benefits of Gua Sha. Aim for a few minutes of practice each day to see lasting results.
  4. Combine with Skincare: Enhance the benefits of Gua Sha by incorporating it into your skincare routine. Apply a facial oil or serum before using the tool to help it glide smoothly over the skin.

As we navigate the complexities of modern life, it’s essential to embrace practices that nourish both body and soul. Gua Sha offers a bridge between ancient wisdom and contemporary wellness, providing a simple yet powerful tool for self-care. Whether you’re looking to improve your skin, reduce stress, or simply reconnect with your body, Gua Sha holds the promise of transformation in 2024 and beyond. So why wait? Embrace this timeless practice and unlock a new level of well-being today.
