However, one woman\u2019s day at the spa allegedly left her feeling like she was \u201cskinned alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- code from Primis - Dailydot Original Content Player_Hardcoded_test --><\/p>\n<p>\n      <span class=\"ad-wrapper__text\">Featured Video<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- code from Primis --><\/p>\n<p>In a viral video with over 894,400 views, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/tags\/tiktok\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TikTok<\/a> user Kim\u2019s Chronicles (@kimschonricles) took to the platform to issue a warning about a specific type of massage called Gua sha.<\/p>\n<p>Allegedly, the massage was painful and left her with wounds that took days to heal. \u201cFor all of you people on this app that get massages, you need to know this,\u201d she began in the clip. <\/p>\n<p>The woman then warned those who get massage to \u201crun for your life\u201d if a massage therapist ever recommends a treatment called Gua sha.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-gua-sha\">What is Gua sha?<\/h2>\n<p>Gua sha is a traditional Chinese treatment that involves scraping the skin with a tool to increase circulation.<\/p>\n<p>The treatment\u2019s practitioners believe stagnant energy, called chi, can be broken up and dispersed. This stagnant energy is believed to be the reason for inflammation and other ailments.<\/p>\n<p>Some studies have found benefits to using the therapy. One<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S1550830707001772\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> study <\/a>found that the treatment did increase circulation for about 25 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Participants in another study also <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21276190\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported reductions<\/a> in muscle pain after receiving Gua sha treatment.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-gua-sha-safe\">Is Gua sha safe?<\/h2>\n<p>The TikToker reported that she felt like her back was \u201cburning\u201d after receiving the treatment. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m telling you right now, it is skinning you alive,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m not exaggerating. It was so painful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the woman got home, she asked her daughter to take a picture of her back. That\u2019s when she saw that it looked pink and inflamed. She was also upset because she was pressured into getting Gua sha when all she wanted was a massage in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLearn from my mistake,\u201d she warned. \u201cDo not do what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/gua-sha#side-effects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Healthline.com<\/a>, Gua sha typically does not hurt but can change the appearance of your skin.<\/p>\n<p>Little tiny blood vessels in the skin called capillaries can burst from the rubbing and scraping with the massage tool. This can result in redness or bruising, which goes away in a couple of days.<\/p>\n<p>In the clip\u2019s comments section, some expressed the benefits of Gua sha.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGua sha. Super painful but it\u2019s a legit thing,\u201d wrote one user.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mom used to do Gua sha on my back when I got sick. It\u2019s painful asf but I always get better. Miss you mom,\u201d said another user.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat looks like normal Gua sha to me,\u201d someone else stated.<\/p>\n<p>However, others were more critical of the treatment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith fibromyalgia I could neverrrr,\u201d wrote one person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh my goodness, Kim. That looks so painful,\u201d another user said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kimschronicals\/video\/7419523083704241450\" data-video-id=\"7419523083704241450\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@kimschronicals\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kimschronicals?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@kimschronicals<\/a> I was skinned alive!
