This, according to the Chinese, moves qi (气) or energy around the body. In allopathic medical terms, this translates into improving circulation which releases stagnant blood and toxins. This movement allows for more blood and nutrient flow to stagnant areas, allowing for healing and rejuvenating tired skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmethyst\u003c\/b\u003e is commonly prescribed by energy healers to help soothe anxiety and to bring peace and calm. It helps the user to feel safe and protected. When used to stimulate your inner intuition and wisdom, it also helps with releasing negative attachments. Amethyst can be a powerful addition to your healing energy rituals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\" style=\"display: none;\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstructions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply a facial oil or moisturizer on cleansed skin to give it some slip before using your gua sha tool.

At Sabbatical, we believe the strongest magic we can find comes from within.
