Full body massage with a wooden gua sha

This is a wooden gua sha I received as a gift from a friend, and it has a nice grip. Since it is wood, it absorbs massage oil, so I don't think I can use it for very long, but if I sweep it over the lymph nodes and the facial areas—which are known to help reduce swelling—once before bed, I find that I am less swollen the next day.

And massaging the trapezius muscles feels incredibly refreshing.

It hurt to do it with my hands, so I tried using a gua sha, but I guess I really need to use a tool.
