Gua Sha Comb — Buffalo Horn, 4" x 3"

The gua sha comb is one of the most specialized and underappreciated tools in Chinese medicine — and one of the most effective for a specific set of applications that flat-edged tools simply cannot replicate. The multiple tines work simultaneously across the scalp, distributing stimulation evenly across a broad area with a single stroke. The result is an immediate increase in local circulation, a release of tension through the galea and temporalis, and a direct therapeutic effect on the channel network of the head — the Du, Bladder, Gallbladder, Triple Burner, and Stomach channels all traverse the scalp and are accessible through this technique.

Scalp gua sha is used clinically for headache and migraine, scalp tension, thinning hair and poor scalp circulation, stress-related head and neck tightness, and as a component of neurological support protocols. It is also one of the most pleasant and accessible forms of self-treatment — the sensation of the comb drawn firmly across an oiled scalp is deeply relaxing and immediately noticeable in a way that patients often find surprising.

This comb is carved from buffalo horn — a material with deep roots in classical Chinese medical practice. Buffalo horn is considered cooling and blood-moving in Chinese medicine, with an affinity for the Liver system that makes it particularly appropriate for heat-related and tension-type headache patterns. It is firm enough to produce meaningful stimulation without being harsh on the scalp, and its natural composition means it generates no static and glides smoothly through hair.

The 4" x 3" format provides enough width to cover the full crown of the scalp efficiently while remaining manageable for self-treatment. Suitable for both clinical use and home practice.
