Carnelian Body Comb Twin Set
Body Comb
Body combing is an ancient Chinese self-healing treatment. Working on the idea that health issues begin within the body on an energetic level. The act of body combing aims to unblock these energy channels, bringing balance to your everyday life. This holistic style of body massage assists with feelings of harmony and relaxation by releasing tension in the body.
Like an extension of gua sha, the body comb works at a deeper level to engage the meridians. The result that occurs “sha” is the light pink flushing of skin indicating the promotion of circulation. Stimulation through regular practice is said to reveal nourished, hydrated, smooth skin by reducing cortisol levels and boosting circulation. Stroke it down your arms, legs and torso to stimulate lymphatic drainage for a spa-like treatment at home.
Our largest sensory organ is our skin. Through this grounding technique we can create a safe space within ourselves. This assists to effectively release any stress we are holding from the day and return to the present moment, allowing us to be mindfully aware of all our body has done for us over the day and offer gratitude to nourish ourselves from the inside out.
Tip: These pieces are a natural carnelian stone and look beautiful styled on your bathroom countertop. Leaving them on display also encourages the daily reminder for regular use.
Use: Use with your favourite body oil after a warm shower. The idea is for the combs to provide a body massage by gliding smoothly over the skin to ease stress and tension.
