Kansa Body & Scalp Massage
In Ayurveda, massage is a practice that goes beyond relaxation, it is considered a daily act of self-care that supports the body's natural sense of balance. Kansa is a traditional bronze alloy of copper and tin, used in Ayurvedic bodywork for centuries. Vedic texts describe Kansa metal as naturally cooling and balancing, particularly suited to calming excess Pitta. These handcrafted tools are designed for use after oiling the body, the smooth bronze surface glides across oiled skin, working gently into the muscles of the shoulders, back, arms, legs, and feet.

An Ayurvedic massage tool with smooth kansa-tipped nodes for Śiro Abhyanga (scalp massage) and targeted marma stimulation on the body. The cooling quality of kansa helps calm pitta, while rhythmic strokes support micro-circulation, lymphatic flow, and relaxation of the nervous system—grounding aggravated vata in muscles and fascia.

A hand cast Kansa (copper–tin bronze) bowl used in Padabhyanga and Kansa Vatki therapy. The natural cooling quality of kansa helps pacify pitta, soothe tired feet, and calm the nervous system while stimulating plantar marma points.
An Ayurvedic facial tool with kansa (copper-tin bronze) domes on both ends—one large for cheeks, forehead and jawline; one mini for under-eye, brow and temple marma work. The naturally cooling metal supports pitta balance, gentle lymphatic drainage, and relaxation of facial muscles during Mukhabhyanga.
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.

An authentic Ayurvedic scalp tool crafted from kansa (copper–tin bronze). Used in Śīrṣa Abhyanga to gently stimulate scalp marma points, support micro-circulation, and promote a calm, cool head—especially helpful when pitta predominates. Suitable for daily self-care and professional treatments.

Kansa Tools for Body, Scalp & Feet — Your Guide
Art of Vedas offers the Kansa Body Wand (a large dome tool for broad body strokes), the Kansa Vatki (a flat, foot-focused tool traditionally used for Pada Abhyanga), and the Kansa Scalp Massager (designed with multiple rounded nodes for head massage). Each tool serves a different purpose within the Abhyanga ritual.
Apply your chosen massage oil generously to the skin. Using medium pressure, move the body wand in long, sweeping strokes along the limbs (from extremities toward the heart) and circular motions on the joints. Spend extra time on areas of tension such as the shoulders, lower back, and calves. A typical session takes 10–15 minutes per body area.
Pada Abhyanga is the Ayurvedic foot massage ritual, considered especially important because the feet contain many marma points connected to the rest of the body. The Kansa Vatki is a flat-bottomed tool that is rubbed in firm circular motions on the sole of the oiled foot. This practice is traditionally done before bedtime to promote a sense of calm and relaxation.
The Kansa Scalp Massager is specifically designed for Shiro Abhyanga (head massage). Apply a small amount of hair oil to the scalp and use the tool with gentle pressure in circular motions across the entire scalp. This is traditionally practiced to support scalp health and as a calming ritual.
Yes. Ayurvedic Oil is essential when using any Kansa tool on the body. It provides the necessary glide and protects the skin from friction. Sesame-based oils or dosha-specific massage oils from Art of Vedas work well. Never use Kansa tools on dry, un-oiled skin.
