Gua Sha Instructions:
Step 1: Ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed (& exfoliated if necessary).
Step 2: Apply your favorite Elemental Herbology facial serum, oil, or moisturizer.
Step 3: Begin with the forehead. Glide the tool upward from your eyebrows to the hairline.
Step 4: Move to the cheeks and glide the tool outward from the nose to the ears.
Step 5: For the under-eye area, use light pressure to glide the tool from the inner corner under the brow towards the temple. Repeat.
Step 6: Finally, address the jawline. Glide the tool upward from the chin to the ear to release any jaw tension.

Obsidian, a type of volcanic glass, forms when lava cools rapidly, preventing crystal growth. This process results in a smooth, shiny rock with sharp edges, historically used for tools like knives and arrowheads. Today, obsidian is highly valued for its use in meditation, energy work, and protection. It is believed to possess several metaphysical healing properties, such as:
- Absorbing negative energy, acting as a “psychic shield”
- Uncovering hidden truths, offering clarity
- Aiding in emotional healing by releasing past trauma
- Connecting you to Earth’s energy, promoting stability
