Gao Gio Sha or Coining
Cao gio is a technique incorporated into the practice of traditional Chinese medicine and is better known in English as coining. Coining begins with a massage using a warm oil that is mixed with warming essential oils. The coining treatment continues as a coin is repeatedly rubbed against an area of the skin in long flowing moves which always move away from the heart. Blood begins to rise to the surface of the skin, and will leave a mark that resembles a bruise The areas of the body that are most frequently treated are the back and ribs, and the marks will fade a few days after the treatment is over. Coining is designed to bring balance to the body.

Re: Gao Gio Sha or Coining
I want to hear from some of the patients after the treatment and also see pictures of their healed bodies. They all look like leeches had a party on them. The girl with the pink hair may choose to keep hers. |

Re: Gao Gio Sha or Coining
Does it actually do anything other than make you look like a zebra?

Re: Gao Gio Sha or Coining
Looks very similar in concept to that "cupping" stuff Gwyneth Paltrow had done. Coining is another thing that was shown on an episode of ER, a traditional family had done it b/c they thought their daughter was possessed.
