History of Gua Sha
From Traditional Chinese Medicine. The first writings on the Gua Sha date back to 2000 years BC. JC. Found in imperial tombs, this tool was an integral part of the life of the Chinese elite. Gua Sha will have to wait for the Ming Dynasty in the XIVth century so that one writes on its therapeutic use. It improves our immune defense capacities and is used to stimulate our meridians. Used by dermatologists in traditional Chinese medicine and renowned facialists, it will be necessary to wait for a post-modern era for Gua Sha to be an essential element in the care of oneself for all.
Effect of Amethyst
Amethyst is the purifying stone par excellence. This lavender-colored gem purifies your physical body but also your aura. Its virtues are soothing and contribute to inner calm, relaxation and meditation. As its etymology indicates, this gem helps fight all kinds of drunkenness and addictions, particularly related to tobacco, alcohol, drugs, but also Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD).
History of Amethyst
The name of this gem comes from the Greek 'ametusthos' meaning not drunk. Amethystos is the name of a nymph in Greco-Roman mythology. Dionysos, god of the vine and drunkenness, would have tried to seduce Amethystos on multiple occasions. To protect her, the goddess Artemis would then have transformed the pretty nymph into rock crystal, cold and impenetrable. In anger and love, Dionysus spilled his glass of wine on this marvelous crystal which naturally took on a whole new hue, the amethyst with its soft purplish color was born... Just like the Greeks, the Romans drank from the time their wine in amethyst cups, to guard against drunkenness.
