Tiger Talisman Copper Gua Sha Therapy, also known as Li’s Gua Sha Method, is a unique copper Gua Sha system established by Mr. Li Daozheng after over forty years of dedicated research into the theories of ancient Chinese medicine and clinical practice.
Many difficult and complicated diseases that other doctors find hard to resolve, such as thrombotic vasculitis (gangrene), diabetic foot, liver cirrhosis, HPV, etc., have shown remarkable effects under his Gua Sha board, earning him the title of “doctor who uses no medication”. He has created many modern medical miracles using ancient Gua Sha methods, providing patients with a non-invasive, green experience of traditional Chinese medicine.
