How to Use
Scalp
Apply 4–6 drops of hair oil to your scalp. Place the nodes in contact with the scalp. Work in slow circles from the hairline to the crown, covering the full scalp including temples and base of the skull. Five to ten minutes. Wipe the tool clean after use.
Body
Apply body or Abhyanga oil to the area first. Hold the nodes flat against your skin. Move in slow circles over areas of tension. For marma points, hold the nodes still and apply gentle sustained pressure for 30–60 seconds per point. Always use with oil. Wipe and dry the tool after each use.
When to practice
Śiro Abhyanga is a morning practice. In classical Ayurveda it belongs to the Dinacharya routine, apply your hair oil first, work the nodes across the scalp, and allow the oil to absorb for 20–30 minutes before bathing.
Marma massage on the body is better suited to the evening, when the day is behind you and the practice can be given the time and stillness it requires. Apply your body oil, take the Kansa tool and work from the upper body downward.
Kansa Scalp & Body Tool Works With Oil. These Are Our Recommendations.
Brahmi Thailam
The classical oil for Śiro Abhyanga. Brahmi is one of Ayurveda's most valued herbs for the mind and scalp, apply it before you begin your head practice with this tool.
Dhanwantharam Thailam
The classical Vata-balancing oil from the Ashtanga Hridayam, formulated for muscles and joints. Apply it to the body before your marma practice with this tool.
For Ayurveda Professionals
Working marma points by hand is effective. It is also tiring, and fingertip contact on the scalp, where multiple points sit close together is slow.
The nodes of this tool contact several scalp marma points at once. The bronze draws localized heat through contact without pressure. You cover more ground, with less fatigue, more consistently.
It belongs in Śiro Abhyanga, Purvakarma preparation, post-Shirodhara integration, and Pada marma work. Solid Kansa bronze throughout, no coating, no interference with medicated oils.
If you work marma, this is an Ayurvedic tool worth having.
