The Body Restorer Ritual

Gua sha would traditionally be given by family members or friends in an attempt to treat a whole range of conditions including: fever, muscle pain and tension, inflammation, chronic cough, sinusitis, mastitis, diarrhoea and migraine. It has been shown in studies to increase micro-circulation by 400%, clear inflammation and increase immunity.

About the The Body Restorer Ritual

The Body Restorer Ritual is based on the proven Chinese technique of Gua sha. It targets the key areas where tension is stored in the body – neck shoulders and back.

Gua sha exponentially increases blood flow to the surface of the skin, which works in a number of ways. Firstly it helps disperse toxins by increased circulation. Then as the blood is reabsorbed by the body it promotes an enzyme  (HO-1) which is anti-inflammatory and immune boosting.

Gua sha has been used for thousands of years across Asia for many common ailments including: fever, inflammation, coughs, migraines and any sort of pain.

Use by day through clothing or by night with the specially formulated Hayou Body Oil, ideally after a Hayo’u bath or shower.
