My PT did gua sha on my calves for foot pain...my varicose veins DISSAPPEARED!!!! So I started doing it myself - larger & larger areas until I was doing my whole leg. CELLULITE is 100% GONE!!! It's only been a couple months!!! I only do it 1x per week!!! I was shocked 😲 🤯🥳 I'm still overweight but my legs are smooth & beautiful like a baby!!!! At 1st it was wicked painful when he was doing it but once all the knots went away, I started craving it
How bad was your cellulite to begin with? And do you mind if I ask your age? Wondering if you have older saggier skin or younger tighter skin? I’m 47 and my body skin has lost all of its elasticity and collagen. :(
@Carmen Estel I'm 34 & it was visually noticeable but not that bad. I am 100 lbs overweight but besides diet I try to take care of myself so my skin is healthy. Microneedling 1x monthly is supposed to help rebuild the skin; maybe that will help.
Wow - I really was skeptical when I ran across this video, but you were so convincing I ordered one from Amazon. Literally, within two days I saw a difference - a really noticeable difference! Thank you for sharing this information!
It’s crazy right? I’m looking to have my friends try some of these random things with me, because one person’s experience doesn’t really tell anyone much. Thank you for sharing your success! Helpful for everyone!
In my 60’s. Use small gua sha on hands and knees, even fingers! Gets rid of arthritis. My hand muscles get tight due to gym or playing guitar. Loosens them up. Use on feet, between and on toes to lessen neuropathy.
healthy sea salt intake does NOT increase water weight!!!!!!! IT IS THE LACK OF POTASSIUM WITH SALT THAT CAUSES WATER WEIGHT - there's a PROPER RATIO of salt to potassium and since our soils are depleted AND we eat salty junk instead of potassium rich foods, we all have water weight Do NOT decrease salt---- you must INCREASE potassium!!!! Also, lack of potassium in soil where corn, celery, etc are grown will cause many growth issues for crops, and water wont make it to the top, so the plant gets sick
I got myself a nice wooden guasha for the body at a TJ Maxx for $7.99 I was not using it for cellulite. I use it more for relaxation before going to bed. but I have noticed that my cellulite has reduced a lot.😁
If I had not tried it myself I would not have believed that this would make my cellulite and knots disappear. I’m diving into lymphatic drainage myself and I cannot believe the results in such a short time. I will not wear shorts or skirts because of my legs. This summer is going to be different. I am not only seeing results but I’m starting to feel better for the first time in years!
Watching this for a third time! This is the epitome of why I love your channel. To the point content delivered like you're having a quick FaceTime with your bestie. Super.
I tried this on my thighs this morning & it really hurt bad, feels like I have adhesions, but oh my goodness I can see such a difference I cannot believe it!! Thank you so much for making this video.
It hurts for me (on certain body parts), too. I read that if you have tight collagen bands, it’s much more painful than for those who have loose collagen bands. It does work though. It’s destroyed the cellulite I was getting on my inner thigh.
For anyone skeptical about getting a body guasha tool: I had a facial guasha tool and used it with some oil on my legs (and basically, the whole body, decolletage , calves, arms, neck, shoulder) and while time consuming (due to the tiny size of the facial guasha tool), it showed me that it works! Now going to invest in the body guasha tool 🙏. Thank you so much for this video, Rachel!! Much love & gratitude from the UK 💖
It’s hard too believe isn’t it???? I have also been loving body brushing so much now that I have a REAL routine down. Excited to talk about that soon, too! Thank you, Cathrine ❤️
This has really puzzled me and I’ve come up with a theory (likely not new but I’ve not read this before, lol) of why this may work- temporarily. So, cellulite is actually subcutaneous fat being pushed up against our skin *through* the fibrous connective tissue holding it down to the muscle. Supposedly, the fibrous cords are arranged differently in men, in such a way that they don’t get cellulite and can we all agree that is totally not fair! 🤣🤣🤣 I’m surmising when you use that tool, it physically pushes the fat back down a bit and..voila! Appearance of cellulite is gone. Um, but the fat isn’t, sorry to be a party 💩. And that explains the temporary effect, because if it was truly gone then it would not be necessary to be consistent with that technique. Fat can’t disappear that easily 😭😭. But hey! I’m all for any temporary noninvasive, benign techniques! 🥳🥳🥳
That must be it! I can also now see the correlation with hormones, too. Now that I am observing much more closely. What will be interesting to find out is if daily use does help in the long term especially when it comes to skin health and firmness. Fingers crossed!
😊 dry brushing is life!! cant wait for my neck chin area to firm up!! the glow is serious...and who needs surgery when you can do it naturally...also the peeling exfoliation is pretty minimal, you're gona look dry flake in the process but completely worth it 🥰
I’ve had the best results using a face gua sha … 5 mins a day once a day in the shower … it literally erases the lines in your face and I just ordered a body one … can’t wait till it arrives ❤❤❤❤
i didn't know it works against cellulite. i saw this gua sha/scraping tool in some stretching videos to help with sore muscles. i'll definitly try it. dry brushing I usually forget, as you say in the video 😅
I almost jumped on the AB / fascia blaster band wagon... I found a Facebook group of those that were severely harmed by her tool/ methods. Look into it or proceed with caution.
I appreciate the snappiness - but yea I bought a gua Sha for my body a while back- I’ll give it a go! And I have a dry brush and can confirm the hardest thing is to remember to do these things. Thanks for the tips, I’ll stand more, reduce salt and increase circulation :)
Yeah, you’re crazy. You’re a nut. I love your content! You blow my mind!!! Sardines, castor oil, body brushing, lymph, bouncing…just one revelation after another! You really go, girl! Thanks, Rachel. I mean it.
KC. You keep me going. Harsh comments get me down sometimes. But I remind myself that I’m here for beautiful people like you. Thank you sincerely. I mean it, too.
Hi Rachel, Can you do a video explaining My Mode? please :) I stream TA and have no idea what is she selling now? I can't keep with all the TA side things happening. It always seems like inner circle type stuff going on, even though I've been paying my $90 fee for over a year.
Yes! You're a psycho... but so am I. What's the past tense for Gua-Sha? Is it Gua-Shat? Because it should be. "I've gua-shat myself for the past two days and I look amazing. Very lean"
I found out about Body combing and Body Gua Sha through a UK Gua sha specialist on TH-cam, called Katie Brindle, she has a whole channel dedicated to body combing and body gua sha..... it’s fascinating! I’m also interested in buying the book about the Lymph.... would you r3commend it? Xx
Hey Countrygirl!!! You are always in the know. I’ve been so much more into novels lately I’ve been struggling to make progress on it. But by golly Im going to finish it this week. Will report back!
I know right? At the very least, even if gone temporarily, it is so encouraging to see what is possible. I am also very excited to see how this helps my overall skin firmness!
Love how honest and to the point your videos are. P.s you are in absolutely amazing shape. Is it rude to say I hope you aren’t trying to lose more weight?
Thank you! Not rude at all and I should take more time to clarify bc I can see how it may come across that way. Which is why I appreciate you asking. Can’t say I’m trying to lose weight, but working to get more tone in certain areas.
@@RundownwithRachel hey Rachel, could you tell me where you got your bikini in the video while you are dry brushing? I thought it was really cute and had good coverage on the top :) I’m a 36 D and it’s hard to find a good top that fits good!
I have never use the dry brush before but I have a face gua sha and I see the benefits immediately and I have no doubts that just like the facial Guasa the body gua sha that you must do every day if not every other day because it works so well, however body type gravity, and time will work against you
I have an electric gua sha that my friend gave me, I not only have cellulite but also as I have gotten older, I developed saggy skin as well. I have several devices, that I have used, but I feel like the gua sha is so much better. Yes, it is a bit uncomfortable when you first start out but that is because your body is not used to the healing aspect. from what it thinks it has a damaging effect that will bring more collagen to the surface of the skin. I have poor circulation anyway, but I use these devices because I believe if you use them every day or 3 to 5 days a week to start, you will feel much better as time goes on moving up to 5 days a week, to 6 your body will thank you. Here are the devices I have, the electric GUA SHA, a NEW FACE FIX, FEREO BEAR MINI, and the LED ECO MASK which I used, but now selling on Poshmark if you could have seen my face in 2021 you would have been shocked to see how young looking I have become, AT THE AGE OF 63 from all these devices and now I use the LED OMNILUX MASK upgraded from the LED Eco mask, it saved me from getting more wrinkles. I am happy with each item I have purchased.
Could someone please guide us to which Gua Sha tool is most effective? I see on Amazon that the range of material they are made of is extensive and the price difference between all is significant. Also same for face Gua Sha tool. Another thing is I watched a tutorial about dry body brushing by a person who focuses on lymph matters. It’s very detailed so might be appreciated. I should add I am not affiliated with the person whatsoever and share simply because I was impressed by the degree of professionalism involved. th-cam.com/video/1YnVb9Ie-r0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xi8iKILhWdn14U15
Hey! I do use oil! I realize I’m pretty vague in this video but I linked a video that helps a lot! I do 3 strokes for each portion before continuing to the next portion.
I've never tried body gua sha, only face. You already have me looking at more gua sha tools online! Btw, you have me going down the rabbit hole of #lymphaticdrainage on TH-cam now. They have pages of that #!
That’s a miss on my part. The area I’ve really been targeting has been on my rear - and as I’m sure you can appreciate that’s kinda difficult to share 🫣
Just started using face gua sha & now I hear this?! OMG I'm so excited 😆 Now... Seriously pls... Can I use it on my glutes?? I need butt cellulite to GO! 🙏🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼🤞🏼
Yes, yes, yes you can use it on your glutes. I put some extra time there 🙃. Just keep in mind - its a daily thing - but now its just a part of my shower routine and no big deal.
Okay - you look amazing, I HAVE to ask and I am SURE you have posted somewhere but how old are you? I am 54 - I am 99% sure you are much younger but I am just curious!
So glad I stumbled on this, you're hilarious! I just bought my 2nd guasha , the small size for face mainly but I'm going to try everywhere. The therapy has been a TCM treatment for a few thousand years so I think we are safe using them! They definitely should be made of stone, bone, or metal, not plastic. 😉I had no idea there were full-body sized tools! I think even if the cellulite results are temporary, it's still cleansing for the lymphatic system and probably over time results are more lasting. Cheers! 🙏🏾
@@acasper333 That’s me! Wow what a memory you have. That may have been the only worthwhile college course I have took. Still remember homo faber - human beings are meant to create not consume.
Thank you so much for this video. It’s very helpful. I have green coffee bean cream that I bought months ago and never used it. I will dry brush my skin. I’ve had a dry brush for years and never used it. I have a loofahs. After I saw this video I went and got my natural bristle dry brush and started dry brushing my body and it feels amazing because it’s got my circulation going. It’s almost like I ran a marathon. I’m going to get the book. Thanks very much and I will be putting my green coffee bean oil on after my shower and using the gua sha tool I have which a huge one it’s made out of steel. I haven’t even used it for over a year. I am so glad I viewed your video and now I say why not get a routine going for better health.
Hey! You can buy it on the manufacturer site (just Google Chel body gua sha) but it is pricey! I’m convinced you can still get great results from a much smaller and less pricey stone that’s also intended for the body like this one: amzn.to/3PLwaj3
Love it - 'to the point'! & secondly, yes 2 brushing and yes to gua sha, although I migh get the body gua sha, it would be quicker to do I guess... Impetient Hi5;)
It seems that the material and shape do matter to some. Any reason you linked a wooden one that is relatively large? If so…Any guidelines when picking one from the sea of Amazon products, now that you have been using yours for a while?
Such a great question! The wooden one has many different groove sizes that allows for lots of angles and options. It’s probably nice to simply start with a wooden one, a cost effective one, to get acquainted. Then invest in a stone if wanting to upgrade. The Chel gua sha is made of a bian stone which is said to have many trace minerals and healing properties. Is it much different than the wooden one or more effective 🤷🏻♀️ - I don’t know how noticeable the difference is. I haven’t had much experience with the wood one - but I can see it’s something I should explore! I’ll report back soon!
I do know that "roughing up" the area causes edema which hides the cellulite. However there is a type of massage that is very effective in reducing cellulite in the early stages. It's a painful kind of massage but effective and without drugs, surgery, or anything of the sort
ehm.. work this only for light cellulite? I try this for 3 months and I see no difference. but I have very strong cellulite, so how long it takes till I see a f difference???
That is very frustrating when you’re working on something and not seeing progress! Any chance you took a before photo? Sometimes that can be the best indicator. The thing about this too is that daily use is best. I find that if I stop using it, it comes back quickly.
You are beautiful and in such good shape, so I dont know what you are seeing as cellulite :))). I love that you are focusing on being healthy with the lymph.
Awesome video! Question if you dry brush before shower do you forego using exfoliating gloves in the shower? Always appreciate your sharing what you are exploring!
Such a good question, yes I do skip exfoliating gloves when I dry brush. Unless I’m going to get my “spray-tan on” in which case the more exfoliating the better!
ppl had complaints the wood one gave them splinters, did not roll smooth, and was too heavy. I am going to try with some household items, like our shoe tongue. See what works.
Hey! The company is called Chel. You can find the exact one at chelbody.com/ and anthropology. To see if it works for you, can always start with a facial gua sha! So many available on Amazon.
It can be such a frustrating thing. The dry brushing and gua sha should certainly help! Also, rebounding (jumping on a trampoline) is said to help with cellulite a LOT. I have just been getting back to it! Good luck in your journey. There is something so therapeutic about knowing you are making progress!
I know where you’re coming from. Given My cellulite is on my 🍑, I’m sure you can understand why I wouldn’t want to film that. One of my girlfriends has it on her thighs and we are going to be filming a before and after soon.

Some might eed to keep a hand vac nearby too!
The quick clip of dry brushing shows the incorrect direction on the abdomens. You go in the direction of the LYMPH, not the veins.
How long do you do this for each leg? Just push up to your heart. do you use oil?
Hey! I do use oil! I realize I’m pretty vague in this video but I linked a video that helps a lot! I do 3 strokes for each portion before continuing to the next portion.

I been doing for 5 months it’s helping a little. Every body different. I still see it in my arms still doing it
I have nothing to share but I definitely share your information and advices with my girlfriends 👯♀️
Love,love,love your channel Rachel!
Thank you so much, Eva. You light me up!
@@RundownwithRachel likewise
Thank you as always Rachel! I have seen these floating around but wasn't sure about them, def trying it now! Just ordered one 😁
How exciting! Please report back!!!
Which side do you use? And do u use it with oil?
How do you use it?? Just bottom to top movements??
Where is the before and after of the cellulite reduction? good video
That’s a miss on my part. The area I’ve really been targeting has been on my rear - and as I’m sure you can appreciate that’s kinda difficult to share 🫣
@@RundownwithRachel haha absolutely !
Just started using face gua sha & now I hear this?! OMG I'm so excited 😆 Now... Seriously pls... Can I use it on my glutes?? I need butt cellulite to GO! 🙏🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼🤞🏼
Yes, yes, yes you can use it on your glutes. I put some extra time there 🙃. Just keep in mind - its a daily thing - but now its just a part of my shower routine and no big deal.
The CHEL Gua Sha she displayed from Anthropology is $95. Perhaps it's me, but I didn't see a link for it below.
First time hearing DRY BRUSH & BODY gua sha! Big THANK YOU TO YOU , Gril xoxoxoxo
It’s an honor and a privilege 🙏
Trying everything! Thanks Rach!!! ❤️
My husband asks "when will it end?" (to me trying all sorts of things).The answer is NEVER! 😎
Old coat hanger, the ugly bulky plastic ones...so many off things to try that coukd do the same thing, potentially.
I bought an extremely similar one for about 30 bucks at aliexpress
How often are you dry brushing and how often are you using Chell?
I got bruises on my thighs, is thst normal? 👀 But my skin feels amazing after a few days already
That actually happened to me at first but now it doesn’t!
That's the fascia breaking up and blood flow going to the surface. I'm guessing they were brownish? You shouldn't keep getting them...
You're breaking up the fascia which is what keeps the cellulite showing through.
How long do your results last after your shower?
Okay - you look amazing, I HAVE to ask and I am SURE you have posted somewhere but how old are you? I am 54 - I am 99% sure you are much younger but I am just curious!
I will give it a try
So glad I stumbled on this, you're hilarious! I just bought my 2nd guasha , the small size for face mainly but I'm going to try everywhere. The therapy has been a TCM treatment for a few thousand years so I think we are safe using them! They definitely should be made of stone, bone, or metal, not plastic. 😉I had no idea there were full-body sized tools! I think even if the cellulite results are temporary, it's still cleansing for the lymphatic system and probably over time results are more lasting. Cheers! 🙏🏾
I just came across your video and I think I took the same Ethics Honors course with you back in 2008 at HCC. I might be wrong.
@@acasper333 That’s me! Wow what a memory you have. That may have been the only worthwhile college course I have took. Still remember homo faber - human beings are meant to create not consume.
I got a wooden body gua cha, would that work?
Thank you so much for this video. It’s very helpful. I have green coffee bean cream that I bought months ago and never used it. I will dry brush my skin. I’ve had a dry brush for years and never used it. I have a loofahs. After I saw this video I went and got my natural bristle dry brush and started dry brushing my body and it feels amazing because it’s got my circulation going. It’s almost like I ran a marathon. I’m going to get the book. Thanks very much and I will be putting my green coffee bean oil on after my shower and using the gua sha tool I have which a huge one it’s made out of steel. I haven’t even used it for over a year. I am so glad I viewed your video and now I say why not get a routine going for better health.
Ahhhh I've missed you Rachel ! Love your personlity and videos they always make my day !! Just ordered the body guasha and trying it !!
Hello I cannot find your black Gua Sha please help ANTHROPOLOGY DONT HAVE IT😢
WHERE CAN I FIND ONE.
PLEASE HELP??
LOTS OF LOVE❤
Hey! You can buy it on the manufacturer site (just Google Chel body gua sha) but it is pricey! I’m convinced you can still get great results from a much smaller and less pricey stone that’s also intended for the body like this one: amzn.to/3PLwaj3
hello sweety, perfect thanks.
This was so helpful! Having both of them at Home, i'll Check If you're a spyco or Not immediately 😉🤩
Love it - 'to the point'! & secondly, yes 2 brushing and yes to gua sha, although I migh get the body gua sha, it would be quicker to do I guess... Impetient Hi5;)
It seems that the material and shape do matter to some. Any reason you linked a wooden one that is relatively large? If so…Any guidelines when picking one from the sea of Amazon products, now that you have been using yours for a while?
Such a great question! The wooden one has many different groove sizes that allows for lots of angles and options. It’s probably nice to simply start with a wooden one, a cost effective one, to get acquainted. Then invest in a stone if wanting to upgrade. The Chel gua sha is made of a bian stone which is said to have many trace minerals and healing properties. Is it much different than the wooden one or more effective 🤷🏻♀️ - I don’t know how noticeable the difference is. I haven’t had much experience with the wood one - but I can see it’s something I should explore! I’ll report back soon!
I do know that "roughing up" the area causes edema which hides the cellulite. However there is a type of massage that is very effective in reducing cellulite in the early stages. It's a painful kind of massage but effective and without drugs, surgery, or anything of the sort
What is the massage called?
@@adrienneyt2250lymphatic drainage massage.
Fantastic Rachel!
Can u use it if u have spider veins ?
ehm.. work this only for light cellulite? I try this for 3 months and I see no difference. but I have very strong cellulite, so how long it takes till I see a f
difference???
That is very frustrating when you’re working on something and not seeing progress! Any chance you took a before photo? Sometimes that can be the best indicator. The thing about this too is that daily use is best. I find that if I stop using it, it comes back quickly.
I’m so going to try this!!
Cannot wait to hear what you think!!!!
ok, now I have to try that. Have been searching for about 22 years for something to get rid of cellulite... will order Today
Did you order one? Does it really work?;)
when you use the gua sha are you putting oil or lotion on first, OR do you just do it without? I have the big gua sha but I'm not using it daily.
I do lotion or oil - whichever I have around. And you and me both, I go through phases where I dont use it and then I get right back to it over time.
You are beautiful and in such good shape, so I dont know what you are seeing as cellulite :))). I love that you are focusing on being healthy with the lymph.
I use it on my fat arms too
Book of lymph wow!
Have your read it???
Awesome video! Question if you dry brush before shower do you forego using exfoliating gloves in the shower? Always appreciate your sharing what you are exploring!
Such a good question, yes I do skip exfoliating gloves when I dry brush. Unless I’m going to get my “spray-tan on” in which case the more exfoliating the better!
Do you use the serrated side of the tool?
ppl had complaints the wood one gave them splinters, did not roll smooth, and was too heavy. I am going to try with some household items, like our shoe tongue. See what works.
Oh goodness, splinters - yikes! Good to know!
I want to try the body gua sha tool. Do you rub oil on your legs before using it?
I sure do! Sometimes I get by with lotion too! Either way, as long as you have some type of moisturizer for it to glide - that’s really all you need!
Hello still searching for the tool? Where can I buy one please help🙏
Hey! The company is called Chel. You can find the exact one at chelbody.com/ and anthropology. To see if it works for you, can always start with a facial gua sha! So many available on Amazon.

i have alot of cellulite. ive always had it so im going to try this wish me luck
It can be such a frustrating thing. The dry brushing and gua sha should certainly help! Also, rebounding (jumping on a trampoline) is said to help with cellulite a LOT. I have just been getting back to it! Good luck in your journey. There is something so therapeutic about knowing you are making progress!
You didn’t have any cellulite to remove…..
I know where you’re coming from. Given My cellulite is on my 🍑, I’m sure you can understand why I wouldn’t want to film that. One of my girlfriends has it on her thighs and we are going to be filming a before and after soon.
Can you actually show what you do and not just talk
Sure can! I’m going to be coming up with an updated video soon ❤️
So when Matt Walsh asks the question, what is a woman we can all just say” woman have cellulite , men do not “.
Please what of Cupping
Although I was probably doing it wrong, I tried cupping and ended up bruising myself pretty good 🙁
Thank you! I will try it!
I never thought about this, but I’ll give it a try
Thank you so much for sharing I just bought one! ❤
