In this eye-opening episode, we tackle one of the most pervasive myths surrounding Gua sha: its supposed detoxification powers. Despite the countless claims you’ll find online and the buzzword-filled pitches from tool sellers and trainers, the idea that Gua sha detoxifies simply doesn’t hold water.

Join me as I debunk this misconception and explore what detoxification truly means in the body, including how our liver, kidneys, and circulatory systems already handle this critical function. Learn why the term "detox" isn’t even part of traditional Chinese medicine’s vocabulary and discover the actual science and mechanics behind Gua sha.

Whether you’re a practitioner, a curious user, or someone eager to separate fact from fiction, this episode will deepen your understanding of Gua sha’s profound benefits—beyond the oversimplified and misleading buzzwords.
