Why Bian Stone?
In TCM, Bian stone is known as the "stone of healing" used for centuries to clear blockages, relieve pain, and restore energetic balance.
Release TMJ tension and grinding
If you wake up with a sore jaw or clench your teeth during the day, work along your jaw muscle releases built-up tension that causes pain, headaches, and that tight, exhausted feeling in your face.
Body lymphatic drainage
Your lymphatic system needs movement to flow. By gliding from your wrists up toward your shoulders, you're helping lymph drain naturally, clearing fluid buildup and reducing puffiness in your hands and arms.
Support scalp health and hair growth
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. By increasing circulation and breaking up tension, scalp Gua Sha nourishes hair follicles, reduces buildup, and creates an optimal environment for growth.
