It is advisable to perform gua sha on the shoulders and neck about once a week. Gua sha in this area helps improve blood circulation, relieves certain physical discomforts, removes dampness from the body, and offers various health benefits. However, it's important not to do it too frequently to avoid potential side effects. After gua sha, avoid exposure to cold and engage in appropriate physical activity.
