#rockwithcareis designed for use on the entire body, including the face. Practiced correctly, benefits can include:
- Less chronic pain - by elongating shortened muscles & releasing fascial adhesions.
- Reduced inflammation & stagnation - by increasing blood flow, lymphatic & energetic circulation - referred to as qi in TCM (pronounced 'chi').
- Elimination of toxins via the lymphatic system - aka: your internal waste disposal system.
- Lifted & firmer skin appearance with regular use - resulting from increased blood and oxygen flow.
- Stimulation of acupressure points - we advise consultation or guidance of a TCM practitioner, for any techniques beyond massage.
- Awareness of what's going on under the skin - and in yourself.Movement of breathe - to places you didn't expect. and... many other potent benefits!

Your #rockwithcare tool is made of Bian-stone, a material which has a history of healing therapy within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).Found along the coastline of Shandong, it is made from a variety of materials including meteorite and volcanic matter.Imagine the magic of space and underground coming together - super high frequency.Every stone has distinctive markings – making your stone uniquely perfectly imperfect. Your stone is not perfectly polished - to maintain its original properties.
Gua sha technique should be slow and mindful - pay attention to what you feel under your skin - muscles, bones, tissues, tender areas, soreness, etc.
If using the stone directly on skin, apply a face or body oil to avoid pulling the skin.The optimal position for lymphatic drainage is to keep arms parallel to the floor, rather than next to your body.
Hold your stone relatively flat - the maximum angle should be 35 degrees when sliding it across your face or body.
Long or short strokes are okay, but only in one direction (no back and forth).
For more targeted areas on your body, use short strokes.
Think of your body as two halves. What you do on one half, repeat on the other.
It is helpful to use one hand to brace the other side of your face / bodyImmerse your#rockwithcare under cold water for several invigorating benefits.
Using Your Tool
How Much Pressure To Apply
Eye Area: no pressure (let the weight of the tool do the work).
Face: light pressure (imagine stroking a newborn).
Body: medium or firm pressure only (never hard).
If lymphatic drainage is the goal, barely any pressure is required.
Licenced TCM Practitioners may apply deep pressure given their extensive education & knowledge of the body.
Do's
Consult with a TCM practitioner if you are pregnant, are using blood thinners, or have any health issues.
Clean your #rockwithcare with gentle soap and pat dry before / after each use.
Protect your stone from breaking by placing a towel or mat on the floor.
Store your box in the organic cotton pouch and drawer box provided.
Don'ts
Avoid using your stone on irritated or broken skin.
Avoid holding your stone at a 90 degree angle from your skin - this can lead to injury.
Ayurveda recommends that NO tools be used over the adam's apple, as this can disturb the thyroid.

“I can’t live without it anymore. It’s a great tool for self soothing and self love but more than that for me it’s a tool for connection. From the beginning, I can say I’ve used this stone on others more than on me and it’s my favourite thing to be able to give others space for all the vulnerability and love and peace that comes with the practice. Always #rockwithcare

“One has to try this beautiful tool to really understand the feeling of sheer wellbeing it gives its users. I’ve only had it for a month and it has become one of the staples of my selfcare routine and I always keep it nearby and reach for it often. The how-to videos on Instagram have been super helpful in really understanding how to properly use it and the little booklet that came with it is super handy. I’ve used Gua Sha tools before but Rock With Care is truly in a league of its own.

“I had a double chin and I have been using the stone since January. The improvement is amazing and my double chin has almost gone. I have also used it on my arms and this relaxes me so much after the long hours working on a keyboard or mobile. I should admit, it’s very stylish and I love to use it as decor on my table.
