Gua Sha 

Gua sha massage,treatment for sunstroke that involves the scraping of the patient's neck, chest and/or back, dates back more than 2,000 years. Sha means blood stasis, and once blood circulation is obstructed, illnesses are sure to follow. Gua sha can help excrete noxious waste and dissipate blood stasis.

The therapy uses acupuncture points and exerts influence on different reflex sections of the body. The treatment of channels and collaterals in the waist will strengthen the kidneys, while treatment of the channels in the upper back will strengthen the heart and lungs.

In daily life, we should strike a proper balance between work and rest, and we should eat more vegetables and fruit that are rich in vitamins. We should also drink more water. We should eat fewer spicy foods, avoid smoking and drink less wine. Fire is closely related to one's mental health. Therefore, an optimistic outlook may be the best fire extinguisher.

There is "fire" (excessive internal heat) in one's body. To some extent, the fire is necessary; however, when there is too much, he/she will feel uncomfortable and develop symptoms, such as red skin, swelling, pain and agitation.

Sometimes, when there is too much fire in the body, it doesn't matter how much water you drink, how many vegetables you eat or how much "fire-releasing medicine" you take. In fact, taking medicine, without applying preventive measures, will help you feel better, but, if you want to extinguish the fire, you should expel it from your body.

What Is 'Fire?'

Chinese herbalists believe the greatest sum of "evil fire" (fire beyond what one can endure) is created within the body.More specifically, the fire results from the imbalance of yin and yang (the ancient Chinese philosophy based on the idea that everything in the universe is formed and influenced by the combination of two opposing forces called yin and yang) in the body.

Symptoms vary, depending on the type and cause of fire; for example, stomach fire may cause a stomachache and constipation, lung fire may cause cough and yellow phlegm; while liver fire may cause fidgeting and insomnia, and women may have aches in their breasts.

Types of Fire

The main symptom of external fire is heatstroke, which generally occurs — when the body's temperature rises — due to lack of water and long exposure to high temperatures. 

Generally speaking, a person experiences more internal fire than external fire because he/she feels more intense pressure,  tends to stay up late and eats too many spicy foods.

Some Suggestions

There are many types of fire, from false fire and true fire to liver fire and lung fire. Some Chinese medicine can help extinguish fire, such as rhubarb, Chinese goldthread, corktree, weeping forsythia, and honeysuckle.
But not everyone can take "fire-releasing medicine." Therefore, one should only take medicine after consulting a doctor.

Various Treatments

Acupuncture, cupping therapy, massage and kneading are suitable treatments for excessive fire.

Cupping Therapy

The earliest written account of cupping therapy is Elbow Rear (Jin Dynasty 281-361) by Ge Hong. With this method, small cups cling to a person's body after the air is removed — with heat — from each cup. As the cups cling to the body, a negative pressure is created, which causes blood stasis.

This will help warm and stimulate the skin. That stimulation can cause blood vessels to expand, which will promote blood circulation and metabolism. It will also increase discharges of bodily wastes and toxins.

Lin Lu, a tour guide, knows firsthand about the benefits of cupping therapy: One summer, when she visited Xishuangbanna, in Yunnan Province, she experienced climate sickness. She had a fever, headache and sore muscles. At one point, she was too weak to walk. She went to an herbalist and received cupping therapy. She was relaxed after the treatment and, after a short rest, she resumed the trip.

Hetian jade is mainly distributed in Xinjiang’s Shache — Tashikuergan town, Hetian — Yutian town and Qiemo town. This kind of jade contains tiny diopside, ophiolite, black lead and magnet and other minerals. The colors of the jade vary. There are white, turquoise, black and yellow and other colors. Most of the jade is monochrome jade, and a few are variegated. The quality of the jade is semitransparent, and after polishing, the colors are similar to that of fat. Its rigidity ranges from 5.5 degrees to 6.5 degrees. Hetian jade can usally be found mountains’ rock where the altitude is between 3,500 meters to 5,000 meters.

The breed of Hetian jade can be divided into eight species according to different colors and degrees of purity. They are white jade, suet white jade, white-greenish jade, gray jade, yellow jade, sugar jade, dark jade and jasper

.

Dushan jade

Dushan jade is also known as “Nanyang jade” or “Nan jade”, which is produced in Dushan just north of Nanyang city. As one of the Chinese four great jades, the quality of Dushan jade is tough and dense, exquisite, soft and moist, and its color is transparent. It has six colors: green, white, yellow, purple, red and black.

Calaite

Calaite is similar to emerald. It got its name because its color and shape is like a dark green pinecone. Calaite is one of the rare valuable diamonds in the world, and the goods produced with calaite have become an important collectable.

People have always been attracted to its green color and the grain of calaite. In ancient times, people related calaite with religion and superstition. In Tibet, people especially respect calaite. They see calaite as a divine decorative accessory, which can be used for rituals.

The color of calaite may differ because of the different elements it contains. Calaite will appear blue in color if it contains coppery oxide, and it will appear green if it contains iron oxide. The color of calaite is an important factor which can affect its quality.
