Today I am going to be explaining how to do gua sha in the comfort of your own home! This will be a complete gua sha tutorial for the absolute beginner. I will explain the benefits of gua sha, stepbystep explanations on how to use the stones, the benefits of gua sha, a short explanation of our lymphatic system, and how it can help with temporomandibular syndrome (TMJ).

Gua sha is a type of traditional Chinese medicine and is an excellent skincare technique to help reduce swelling, puffiness, congestion, increase lymphatic drainage, and helps with facial rejuvenation and relieving muscle tension and pain.

EDIT: Here are some clarifications for some parts of the video. Although I do not recommend facial gua sha while you are sick, traditional gua sha on the body is performed to help get rid of toxins. Typically it is performed on someone's back in these cases.
When performing facial gua sha on the neck area, a downwards motion towards the clavicle will help with lymphatic drainage whereas an upward motion will temporarily help with lifting. Hope this helps!
