THE KANSA WAND, AN ANCIENT AYURVEDIC BEAUTY & MASSAGE TOOL

What is Kansa?

Like the metal used for sacred Tibetan bells and gongs, Kansa bronze is highly resonant.

This tool provides a sacred means for facial (and whole-body) rejuvenation.

A gentle massage of the face with Kansa is known to direct life-force energy to open marma points (Ayurvedic vitality points on the body) to tune the subtle energies and impart a rosy glow. The face appears more open, relaxed, clear, and vibrant, with less puffiness. Truly a tool that invites profound relaxation & calm.

The Facial Wand is a rounded dome with a beautiful hand-carved Teakwood handle. KANSA is the Indian name for Bell metal, a hard alloy usually a form of bronze, with an approximately 4:1 ratio of copper to tin. It massages the face and body in meditative circular motions and long strokes. The smooth surface quickly warms and feels like a warm hand. The rounded shape can help release tension in the jaw, temples, cheekbones & third eye.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

WHAT IF YOUR SKIN TURNS GREY WHEN USING THE KANSA WAND.

The primary reason for this is acidity.
Acidity reacts with the metal (copper, tin, and trace of zinc) and creates greyness on the skin.

Here are some of the reasons:

1. In Ayurvedic terms it can be that you are strongly constitutionally, or as a result of life's circumstances conditionally PITTA. This fiery quality tends to make the body/and or skin more prone to acidity.

2. It can and also be the result of DIET and/or an environment that has a lot of pollution in the air.

3. Products that you use on your body and complexion have residual chemicals in them. These can remain in the pores of your skin and react when in contact with the Kansa metal. This could be from sunscreen, moisturizers, make-up, etc. They might be excellent products but just not suited to your skin type, in which case the Kansa is giving you vital feedback.

4. The greying can affect you immediately or after a period of time. In terms of the time factor, it can be that you're rubbing away on your face and feet and after 5 minutes the greying begins to come out.

The greying will easily wipe off with our Oil Cleanser, your face cleanser of choice, mist, or any facial oil.
