Ayurveda states that our body combines 5 elements and energies or Doshas. It is vital for one to maintain a balance between these energies as it directly affects our entire well-being. Kansa Massage wand is the most ancient and cherished tool in Ayurveda as it helps in balancing doshas with ease. Kansa Massage wand is a bronze-forming mixture of 78 percent copper and 22 percent tin. In ancient India, Kansa metal was widely used for the purpose of eating and cooking. The dominant metal Copper is prominent for its plethora of benefits that range from physical to psychological well-being.
Not even eating Kansa metals but also its application on the body have a wide range of benefits. From revitalizing skin to toning facial muscles to relieving you from the day’s stress are just a few. Frequent use of Kansa wand can also help in harmonizing various tattvas of the body that can promote holistic and optimum living.

Design & Craft
Authentic Kansa utensils are handmade, and each piece is unique. Hence, we should expect the exquisite artwork to vary marginally in shape, size, and color.

These great artisans reside in Odisha and possess a rich tradition dating back to the times of enshrinement of the Puri Jagannath temple. Currently, the artisans heat the copper and tin at 700-800 degrees Celsius. After that, they complete the crafting by delicate finishing by hammering and applying clay for solidification.
