For lymphatic drainage, sculpting, lifting and smoothing the skin. Like all stones, it can be used warm or cold.

Mookaite operates at the Qi level to strengthen the production of blood and invigorates circulation. It breaks-up blood stagnation and accumulations from the digestive system.

Use it with upward strokes on the neck and circular rotations everywhere on the face; jawline, hairline, cheeks, forehead and around the lips and eyes. For the back of the neck, the small rounded tip works well to gently trace the lateral edge of the spine (lamina groove) with upward strokes and micro-circles. Larger zig zags can be followed by smooth sweeps with the flat edge of the spoon. However you are drawn to using, work gently and never with forceful movements. Trust in the power of the movement you are creating below the skins surface to create the change you desire.

It’s been said often that Mookaite encourages self-awareness and honesty with oneself. It’s a supporting stone and grounding in its nature and earthly colors. Use it with kindness, or use it to promote and nurture kindness within yourself, for yourself and others.

Gua Sha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique. It loosely translates to scraping or rubbing toxic energy with the flow of blood to surface of skin. Using the specialized techniques enable the renewal of the lymph, activate circulation, minimize the appearance of wrinkles, and stimulate cell activity and the regeneration of the facial tissue for long-term results.

Using the Gua Sha stone as a home facial treatment you can:

-Provide relief from stress
-Improve your skin’s health
-Increases skin tone and circulation
-Encourages lymphatic drainage
-Renew facial contours and reverse sagging skin by firming and lifting
-Diminish dark circles and reduce puffiness
-Minimize appearance of wrinkles (smoker, mimic and smile lines)
-Brightens and promotes radiant complexion
-Reduce dark spots, blemishes and other skin problems

Here are some Gua Sha guidelines for a home care routine.

1. Use the right kind of facial oil to provide a slip/slide. Using the wrong oil or combo of products can cause product pilling, potential redness and may interfere with the calming effects. The B3 Rose Squalane is my chosen product for this - https://foxanddollshop.com/products/rose-squalane

2. Placement is important. For the basic Gua Sha stroke hold the stone between 15 to 45 degrees on the skin to maximize the contact between the tool and your skin. This positioning is the most efficient placement for moving lymph.

3. The neck is the connector to the face. Moving along the neck is equally as important as moving along the face.

4. Take your time. Move slow and steady. You want to move slowly and connect your breath with your movement.

5. Use a light pressure. To move the lymph efficiently a gentle pressure is ideal.
