Gua Sha is a sandy-looking objects through the skin is a form of folk medicine. Sometimes referred to as "spooning" or "coining" by English speakers.

Some methods use oil balm and a coin to apply pressure to the skin. Others use a boiled egg with a coin inserted in the middle of the yolk. The egg is wrapped in a piece of cloth and rubbed over the forehead (in the case of a fever) and other areas of skin. After the rubbing, when the coin is removed from the egg, it will appear black.

Besides that Some people used their combs with Camelia Oil or Rosemary Oil. Rosemary is an aromatic evergreen shrub that has leaves similar to hemlock needles.
