You can use a fan 12 hours after back Gua Sha. By then, the pores will have closed; if you use a fan too early, cold air may enter the body and increase the risk of catching a cold or feeling chilled. After Gua Sha, the body's pores are temporarily dilated, so failing to stay warm may lead to discomfort or pain. Gua Sha helps improve local blood circulation and metabolism, promoting overall health. It also enhances blood flow and helps relieve blood stasis.
