“Roses are beautiful but have you ever seen the wildflower?”
At Balanced Thistle, we had the wild idea that health and beauty are the same thing. Beauty care should be GOOD for you. Try it.
Our Signature Gua Sha Facial
Girl, if you haven’t tried Gua Sha, it’s definitely time.
Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves “scraping” of the skin using various tools, often a flat jade stone. While it is traditionally used for a myriad of reasons, Gua Sha in the cosmetic world has only recently become famous. Gua Sha moves and drains lymph, soothes irritated skin, helps penetrate product, eases muscle tension, and is absolutely blissful. The Balanced Thistle Team has unparalled training in gua-sha having studied under multiple Chinese Medicine doctors from around the world. Pair this incredible technique with custom-for-you Chinese herbal skin care that smells and feels innnncredible and you’ll leave with that gua-sha glow you’ll never want to lose!
