The Kansa Wand, a more than five-decade-old facial massage tool, is a holistic solution recommended by Ayurveda for the beauty of both the body and the mind. With benefits including improved lymphatic flow, rejuvenated skin, and slowed physical signs of aging, the Kansa Wand has been the go-to face massage tool across the globe. One might wonder how the dome-shaped massage tool works its magic. The answer lies in the metal that makes up the dome of the wand. Kansa is made of what is referred to as the Healing Metal in Ayurveda- Copper, and tin. The benefits of this alkaline metal on the skin have been well documented: From Ayurveda-specific applications to everyday use- the Kansa tool is a good addition to your health and beauty regime.

How it makes a difference

Massaging or rolling your skin helps increase blood circulation, pumping more oxygen through your body and boosting lymphatic drainage. Pairing the massage with cleansing oil will not only enable your face to breathe in oxygen - it also aids in getting rid of impurities and other exterior damaging factors. The end result is tighter skin and a reduction in inflammation - making your skin look brighter and younger.

The Kansa Wand massage won’t just leave your skin looking rejuvenated. Like any good massage, you’re going to feel relaxed and fresh - but there are physical changes as well. Once you follow the steps above, there’s a possibility that your skin may turn grayish, but that’s a good sign- it implies you’ve done it right and the wand is working its magic. This happens when the Kansa Wand draws the acid from your system.

The Kansa Wand is also extremely easy to maintain. Simply wash it before and after usage, and clean the metallic part with lemon. The wooden handle should not come in contact with the lemon. Do this, and you’re set!

Kansa Gua Sha is a face massage tool made using an alloy of copper and tin. You might have heard of and seen people around using the Kansa wand. Gua Sha, on the other hand, is a massaging technique, traditionally involving using a tool to scrape your skin and improve circulation. Both these health uplifting, skin-enhancing tools can be traced back to Asia- used traditionally to heal and rejuvenate the skin, particularly the face. While Kansa stems from Ayurveda in India, Gua Sha comes from China - using the two together will give you magnified results.

Copper is a healing metal and therefore becomes the most important element of the Kansa Wand. The power of the Kansa wand reduces the aging of the skin and adds life to it. Gua Sha is a method involving scraping with a tool and and works towards detoxifying your skin - When used as a pair, one can benefit from both tools.

Kansa Gua Sha is exactly that- the antibacterial and alkaline properties of Kansa copper and the detoxifying element of Gua Sha. Using this dual tool, one can scrape their face to get rid of impurities and balance the pH levels of their skin, as well as massage it to rejuvenate. Listed below are some significant advantages of using the Kansa Gua Sha.

The benefits of using Kansa Gua Sha-

1. Skin tightening.
The edges of the tool stimulate circulation, thereby uplifting and tightening sagging or puffy skin.

2. Refreshed youth.
The cooling sensation of the metal relaxes the skin - but there’s more to it than this. The alkaline properties of the metal help revitalise your skin and brings its natural glow back.

3. Helps improve Lymphatic Flow.
The movements of the healing metal increase blood circulation in the face, adding color to it.

4. Increased oxygen in the skin.
When blood circulation increases, so does the propagation of oxygen- allowing your skin to ‘breathe’.

5. Rids toxins and inflammations.
The scraper removes impurities, and helps stimulate whichever part of the body it is applied to. Practitioners believe this helps reduce inflammation - which is why this tool is often used to help treat chronic pains.

6. Eases muscle tension.
The circular motion of the calming massage helps rejuvenate skin and eases tension.

How to get started-

1. Apply any oil of your choice. We recommend Ghee (clarified butter) on your face.
2. Move the Kansa Gua Sha in a single direction.
3. Begin from the middle of your face and move outwards.
4. Gently stroke the tool over any puffy parts of your face, encouraging drainage of the underlying fluids.
5. Move it under the eye, followed by the chin and the neck.

Continue to massage your face gently for about 5 minutes, and do this once a day at least.
