How To Use
1. Glide in upward motions along arms, legs, and torso.
2. Focus on tight areas with slow, steady strokes.

Phase 1: The Golden Rules of Preparation
Before you ever touch the tool to your skin, you need to set up a safe surface area.
• Never Use on Dry Skin: This is the absolute number one rule. Using a body gua sha on dry skin causes "tug" and micro-tears. Slather the area in a generous amount of body oil or a rich lotion. You want the tool to glide like ice across the surface.
• Hold at a 15 to 45-degree Angle: Do not hold the tool straight up and down at a sharp 90-degree angle (like you're trying to slice into your skin). Lay it relatively flat against your body, using the flat, wide surface of the tool to distribute the pressure evenly.
Phase 2: Expanding the Steps (The Routine)
When the package instructions say "glide in upward motions," they are targeting your lymphatic system (which drains toward your central lymph nodes in your chest and groin area).
1. Prep the Lymph Nodes:30 seconds.
To give fluid somewhere to go, start by stimulating your main drainage points. Take the flat edge of the tool and do a few light, pulsing strokes right over your collarbones, under your armpits, and at the crease of your groin.
2. The Legs (Ankles to Hips):3-5 minutes.
Using the long curved edge of your Kitsch tool, start at your ankle and sweep upward over your calf toward the back of your knee. Repeat 3 to 5 times per section. Move to your thigh, sweeping from the knee all the way up to your hip. Use a medium, firm pressure.
3. The Arms (Wrists to Armpits):2 minutes.
Start at your wrists and glide the tool up your forearm toward your elbow. Then, glide from your elbow up over your bicep/tricep toward your shoulder and armpit.
4. The Torso & Belly:2 minutes.
For your stomach, follow a clockwise, circular pattern around your belly button to mimic your digestive flow. For your chest/torso, start at the center of your chest and glide outward toward your armpits.
5. Targeting Tight Knots:As needed.
When you hit a tight muscle knot (especially common in the shoulders, calves, or IT bands), slow down. Switch to the smaller, grooved "V" shape or wavy edge of the tool. Press into the knot with steady, medium pressure and use a tiny, back-and-forth wiggling motion to break up the tension.
What to Expect After
A little pinkness or flushing of the skin is totally normal—it means you successfully stimulated blood flow. However, it should not hurt. If you notice severe dark bruising or pain, you are pressing way too hard. Light to medium pressure is all it takes to shift fluid and relax the muscle tissues.
Once you are done, drink a large glass of water to help your body flush out any of the toxins and fluid you just moved around!
