Uses of Kansa Therapy
Facial Rejuvenation: Kansa therapy is often used as a facial treatment to promote healthy skin and reduce signs of aging. The gentle massage with the Kansa wand helps stimulate blood circulation, improve lymphatic drainage, & enhance the natural radiance of the skin.
Relaxation and Stress Relief: The soothing touch of the Kansa wand on the body can induce a deep sense of relaxation, relieve muscle tension, and calm the nervous system. It is an excellent therapy for individuals seeking stress relief and relaxation.
Pain Management: Kansa therapy can provide relief from various types of pain, including headaches, muscle aches, joint pain, and general discomfort. The metal's unique properties help balance energy, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Balancing Energy: According to Ayurveda, Kansa therapy helps balance the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and harmonizes the flow of energy in the body. This balance is believed to support overall health and well-being.
Enhanced Circulation: The gentle strokes and movements of the Kansa wand help stimulate blood circulation, which aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells and promotes detoxification.
Treatments and Application
Kansa therapy can be applied to various parts of the body, including the face, scalp, hands, feet, and body. The therapy typically involves gentle circular and stroking movements with the Kansa wand or bowl. The practitioner may use natural oils or creams to facilitate smooth gliding of the tool on the skin.
The heart of the treatment involves vigorously rubbing the soles of the feet with a metal bowl to draw heat and toxins out of the body, thereby inducing tremendous relaxation. In many cases when more toxins is released, the soles of the feet can darken from grey to almost black.
Scientifically, a little bit of coconut oil is applied to feet, which acts as a lubricator. When the machine starts rotating, the rubbing of feet with kansa generates heat. The coconut oil and/or salty sweat on the feet causes the bronze to oxidize, causing the grey or black residue , i.e. the rust to form. This massage is of about 30-45 mins in duration.
Precautions and Considerations
While Kansa therapy is generally safe and gentle, there are a few precautions to keep in mind:
Allergies or Skin Sensitivity: Individuals with metal allergies or sensitive skin should exercise caution and consult with a practitioner before undergoing Kansa therapy.
Open Wounds or Skin Infections: Avoid applying Kansa therapy to areas with open wounds, cuts, bruises, or active skin infections to prevent any potential irritation or discomfort.
Pregnancy: Pregnant women should consult with their healthcare provider before receiving Kansa therapy to ensure its safety during pregnancy.
Seek a Qualified Practitioner: It is essential to receive Kansa therapy from a trained and qualified practitioner who has a thorough understanding of the technique and its applications.
Kansa therapy offers a unique and holistic approach to healing and well-being. Its gentle touch and the use of the sacred Kansa metal alloy provide numerous benefits for the skin, relaxation, pain management, and overall balance. By considering the uses, benefits, treatments, precautions, and seeking guidance from a qualified practitioner, individuals can experience the rejuvenating effects of Kansa therapy and enhance their journey towards optimal health and wellness.
