This is the first English language book on the ancient therapeutic technique 'Gua Sha'. It is a technique commonly used in Asia and Southeast Asia by TCM practitioners, Chinese families and individuals who know and use it as part of their 'health culture'. In Gua Sha, the skin is pressured in strokes i.e. scraped (but not broken) by a blunt edge (Chinese families used a spoon). This, in Western terms, raises extravasated blood and metabolic waste which collects in muscle tissue, and encourages its departure. Gua Sha is often used to counteract muscle strain through athletic injury, back pain, and conditions beyond muscle injury alone. The result, visually, is livid discolouration of the skin which subsides in a few days, considerably faster than a bruise. For this reason practitioners in the West have been afraid of using it. However it can be a very useful technique to know how to use, and will enhance the skills of any practitioner using it while giving them another treatment method

It was an interesting story of how a native people are trying (and largely succeeding) to hang on to an important tradition. I was just so happy with this book. My goal was to learn more and to be able to perform Gua Sha myself as I know it was a common technique in the family homes of many Chinese and other nations.

She was the first woman to serve on the President's Council of Economic Advisors; she was one of the first women to sit on the boards of several major, international corporations; and she was the first female chief economist of GM. These are two major taboo issues and when you bring in outside factors such as Harvey’s abusi
