Natural Cellulite Remedy

Japanese Gua Sha Scraping Technique

By:Catherine Browne, L.Ac., MH, Dipl.Ac.

Cellulite refers to the common occurrence of dimpled

skin from subcutaneous fat that is common in women.

Cellulite is more common in women than men because

of the way that connective tissue, muscle and fat are

developed in women; it is also suspected that

estrogen, along with other hormones, promotes the

production of cellulite. One hormone that increases the

tendency of cellulite to develop is catecholamines;

catecholamines are more abundant with chronic stress

and anxiety.

While proper lifestyle practices are always a good idea for sustainable health, cellulite is not definitively attributed to obesity or lack of exercise. Cellulite is thought to have a connection to genetic disposition and water metabolism. The natural herbs in Placid Pond Formula are known to enhance the body’s ability to regulate water metabolism and lymph flow in the body, thus aiding in the effort to naturally reduce cellulite.

In Chinese medicine, many disease processes are contributed to Qi stagnation; this is when the vital energy in your body is not moving and causes pain or disease. Toxins accumulating in body tissue is one common cause of Qi stagnation. Qi animates us and insures that blood and body fluids flow freely throughout our bodies. This formula is artfully balanced with the best herbs used traditionally to reduce cellulite, remove cellular toxins, and help dispel Qi stagnation.

Patients in clinic are instructed to use Gua Sha

Japanese scraping technique using our Lymphatic

Drainage Cream along with this formula for dramatic

cellulite reduction results. "Gua Sha" translates to

"scraping". There are Gua Sha tools available on the

market, but a simple plastic lid with a straight edge

will work. Make sure that whatever tool you use for

scraping the skin is smooth and will not tare the skin.

Simply apply the Lymphatic Drainage Cream and

scrape in the direction that the Qi energy flows in the

meridians of the legs until the skin becaomes very

pink (approximately 5 minutes or so on each leg);

downward on the back and inside of legs and

buttocks; up on the outside of legs.

Patients experience a noticable reduction in cellulite

within a few months utilizing this technique.
