The Empress Wand is designed to release tension in the face, jaw, neck, and shoulders. Stress and tension can cause our faces to appear tense and contribute to skin stress. This tool was refined and tested by Wildling founders, an acupuncturist and holistic esthetician with thousands of hours of hands-on experience in the treatment room. It is designed to gently relieve tension in order to restore the flow of energy in the skin. Relieving stress in the muscles of the face has a glowing effect on the skin and a profound benefit to how you will feel overall.
Unlike other facial stones typically made from quartz, the Empress Wand is composed of Bian stone, an amalgamate of 40+ minerals. Known for its rejuvenating properties, Bian stone formed when a meteor struck a mountain in China 65 million years ago. This stone emits energy known for antioxidant and anti-aging benefits, including a measurable ultrasound pulsation and a far-infrared wave. It also emits negative ions, known to promote relaxation and overall well being.
Medicinal crystals ARE carefully selected for their healing effects on the skin as well as their positive effects on the emotional body. This practice of "stone medicine" is one of the ancient Taoist healing techniques.

How It’s Made
At Wildling, pure and authentic medicinal crystals are carefully selected for their skin-healing properties as well as their positive effects on the emotional body. This practice of "stone medicine" is an ancient Taoist healing technique.
White “veins” of various sizes may appear on the stone. These veins were formed as a result of the meteor striking the earth and are a sign of the Bian stone’s authenticity.

Empress Tonic - After cleansing, the Empress Tonic primes skin to absorb face oil. It's an essential step in activating the skin, preparing it for gua sha, and maximizing results. Plant wanters from nutrient-dense sweet fern, damask rose, and Douglas fir stimulate detoxification, promote lymphatic drainage, and hydrate to amplify your gua sha practice.

FAQs
The Empress Ritual is helpful for clearing breakout prone skin, however you should not gua sha over active breakouts. The skin care products work well for breakout prone skin. To learn more click here.
The strokes should be gentle on the face, especially around the eyes. Think of how gently you would frost a cake — it doesn't take a lot of pressure to get great results. In fact, when moving lymph, it’s important to use light pressure. (Read more about lymph drainage on our blog.)
Clean your stone prior to each use with warm water and a skin-friendly cleanser or soap. We recommend storing it in the Empress Pouch as they are relatively fragile. Even diamonds can break when dropped!
For best results, practice at least 3 times per week. Daily use is encouraged, but not more than once per day.
