The Wonders of the Kansa Wand

Writer's picture: Samantha CoxSamantha Cox

'Kansa' is a Sanskrit word for bronze. It is a metal alloy of copper and tin, and is considered in Ayurveda as a healing metal. This alloy is also commonly used to make gongs and singing bowls. This beautifully crafted hand-held wooden facial tool predates the gua shas and rose quartz rollers. It is definitely my personal go-to for facial massage, which is why I chose to use it in my holistic facial ritual treatment.

The tension released around the forehead and face as the kansa wand drifts across feels truly amazing; it’s like a mini facial workout with instant results. I love the way it glides over the skin without any drag or discomfort, and the kansa metal feels cool at the start, but soon transforms to a gentle warmth from the heat of the skin. giving an overall sensory effect.


The benefits of the kansa wand go skin-deep and beyond, here are just a few of them:

  • Cleanses and detoxifies impurities in the skin

  • Relieves tension in the jaw, browline and muscles of the forehead

  • Calms the emotions, soothes the senses and de-stresses the mind

  • The increased blood circulation is great for revitalizing the complexion

  • Promotes good skin health, leaving the skin glowing, soft and radiant

  • Massaging the marma points with kansa encourages lymphatic drainage

  • Known to reduce puffiness, inflammation and acidity in the skin

  • The metal blend the kansa is alkaline, so is known to restore the pH balance of the skin


So make sure you pop a kansa wand on your next birthday wish list! Or better still, book in with me to feel the soothing results of the Kansa Wand Facial.
