Gua Sha and Tiger balm
Misty (one of the girls that models on my team) posted this pic the other day. She had been sick so she did Gua Sha or "coining" to let the wind/cold out and said she felt much better afterwards. I'm learning new things about Asian culture every day but I hadn't heard of Gua Sha before. It looked really painful and I was skeptical about whether it would work or not. I'm not sick but I had a really sore back from all the stunting and hiking and everything and I heard it would help for that as well so I gave it a try. Yes it hurts a little when they do the initial coin rubbing and it will leave scary looking marks but it relieves the pain and I feel great now..... I just have to figure out how to get rid of these marks before the event on Saturday!
