Kansa is an ancient Ayurvedic blend of highly-conductive bronze. It's used to massage the face and body for cell rejuvenation, rapid pain relief, and release of pitta (heat + inflammation). Rich in copper, this metal is a great conductor of the body’s bio-electricity. As it touches your skin, it subtly draws to it your inherent chi (electromagnetic life-force energy) to release tension, clear energetic blockages and detoxify acidity from the tissues. We call it, “paleo-microcurrent.”
The Sculptor
How-to basics:
-Use the edge of the tool at about 20 degrees, so you feel some of the flat side of the gua sha against your skin.
-Begin with very light strokes down the sides of the neck to the collarbone to begin the flow of lymph.
-Draw your gua sha from the midline of your face to your ear/hairline, following these latitudes: jawline, fleshy cheek, cheekbone, undereye (gently!), and forehead.
-Clear the "offramp" of fluid at the jawline in front of your ear (this is where all lymph from the face is eventually flows). Use light gentle strokes down the neck.
-Use the tool to lift the brow and forehead, up and away from your third eye.
