Kansa Tools for Classical Marma Therapy
Marma points are specific anatomical locations described in classical Ayurvedic texts where muscles, joints, tendons, bones, and vital energy pathways converge. The Sushruta Samhita identifies 107 marma points across the body, each considered a junction of physical structure and pranic (vital energy) flow. Gentle stimulation of these points through touch and massage is one of the oldest practices in Ayurvedic bodywork.
Kansa bronze is the traditional metal of choice for marma work. The smooth, rounded tips of Kansa tools allow precise, sustained contact on specific points without sharp pressure. When used with warm oil, the tool glides to each marma location, where it is held with gentle, steady contact for several seconds before moving to the next point.
The most accessible marma points for home practice are on the face (temples, brow point, jawline), the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet. These areas respond well to gentle Kansa massage and are safe to work on without practitioner supervision. For deeper marma therapy on the torso and limbs, consultation with a trained Ayurvedic practitioner is recommended.

An authentic Ayurvedic facial tool with a kansa (copper–tin bronze) dome and ergonomic hardwood handle. Designed for precise work on facial marma, especially the under-eye, brow, temples and nasolabial area. Regular use supports micro-circulation, gentle lymphatic drainage, and a calm, cool pitta—leaving the skin relaxed and refreshed.
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.

Marma Point Massage at Home — Common Questions
In Ayurveda, marma points are specific anatomical locations where muscles, joints, bones, tendons, ligaments, and veins converge. Classical texts such as the Sushruta Samhita describe 107 marma points on the body. Gentle stimulation of these points through massage is part of traditional Ayurvedic bodywork.
Kansa marma tools are designed with smaller, more precise tips that allow targeted pressure on specific marma points. They are typically used with lighter, more focused movements compared to the broader strokes of a face or body wand. The smaller size gives the practitioner better control for detailed work.
Both. While Ayurvedic practitioners use marma-specific tools in clinical settings, the Art of Vedas Kansa marma tools are designed to be safe and accessible for home use. Start with gentle pressure on the commonly known marma points of the face, hands, and feet. Art of Vedas provides guidance on basic marma locations with each tool.
Start with very light pressure — less than you might expect. Marma work in the Ayurvedic tradition is about gentle, sustained contact rather than deep force. Hold the tool on each point for 3–5 seconds with steady, light pressure, then move to the next point. Increase pressure gradually over multiple sessions as you become familiar with how your body responds.
The most accessible and safe marma points for home practice are on the face (around the temples, between the eyebrows, along the jawline), the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet. These areas respond well to gentle Kansa tool massage and are far from any sensitive structures. Avoid pressing deeply on the throat, inner wrists, or areas near the eyes.
