gua sha

back rub with a stone

i like massage.

here in asia i go for mmassage on a weekly basis.

it's cheap and good for the aches n' pains.

but today i went with my mate to an expensive place that deals in traditional chinese therapies.

and there i had some gua sha action.

first they rub some special oil on your back and then they scrape it half to death with a piece of stone

nice

and they tell me i'll have the marks for a week but my body is free of toxins [apparently].

hmm..

anyway, next week i'm off for some cupping [where they stick jamjars on your back and suck the skin up]

sounds like more fun - and i'll be doubley as detoxified as i am right now.

cushty.

until then, i'll just keep me t-shirt on.
