17、eridian-acupoint theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The specific Gua Sha instruments which have different shapes and materials are adopted to perform scraping action to the skin during the Gua Sha treatment so as to prevent or treat diseases.Gua Sha has been used for more than two thousan

18、d years and has demonstrated medical benefits. In recent years, Gua Sha has proved, according to many clinical research projects, to be effective in treating more than 400 types of diseases. Now, it is widely accepted in many countries including China, United States of America, Europe, Australia, Ja

19、pan, Korea and other Southeast Asian countries.The purpose of this document is to guarantee the safety and performance of Gua Sha instruments, so as to promote the international trade of Gua Sha instruments and generalize the clinical application of Gua Sha therapy.
