Kansa Face Massage Ritual
In Ayurveda, the face holds several marma points — energy centres connected to the brain, organs, and doshas. Massaging these points with the Kansa metal is traditionally believed to support the natural flow of energy in the face and promote a sense of calm during the massage.
The Kansa Face Ritual isn’t just a treatment. It is a meditative practice to release tension, refresh the skin, and restore your natural glow, all while connecting you with your inner state of balance.

Important: Make sure to clean and dry the Kansa Wand after each use to extend its life. Store it in a dry place, away from moisture.

Your Kansa Wand Questions Answered
A Kansa face massage (Mukha Abhyanga) is a traditional Ayurvedic facial technique using a tool made from Kansa bronze — an alloy of copper and tin used in India for thousands of years. The rounded tip is gently moved across the face to release tension, support circulation, and promote a healthy-looking complexion. It is typically performed after applying a facial oil.
During a Kansa massage, you may notice a faint grey-green tint on the skin. This is a natural reaction between the Kansa metal, the oil on your skin, and your skin's pH. It washes off easily and is considered in Ayurveda to be a sign that the metal is interacting with the skin as intended. It is not harmful.
Any facial oil works well with a Kansa wand. Art of Vedas Ruby Elixir (Kumkumadi Serum) and the Art of Vedas Ayurvedic Face Oil are popular choices because they provide enough glide for the tool to move smoothly and are formulated for facial use. Apply 3–4 drops to the face before starting the massage.
A daily routine of 5–10 minutes is ideal, typically in the evening as part of your wind-down ritual. If daily isn't practical, 3–4 times per week is a good starting point. Consistency matters more than duration — even a brief session supports the ritual.
Kansa is traditionally regarded as a skin-friendly metal in Ayurveda. However, if you have very reactive skin, start with short sessions (2–3 minutes) and use a gentle oil. Avoid using the wand over active breakouts or irritated areas. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your skincare professional.
The Kansa Wand has a smooth, rounded dome tip that is ideal for circular strokes and targeted work around marma points on the face. The Kansa Gua Sha has a flat, contoured shape designed for broader sweeping strokes along the jawline, cheekbones, and forehead. Both tools are made from the same Kansa bronze alloy. Many customers use both the Gua Sha for sculpting strokes and the Wand for detailed, focused massage.
