The Magical Kansa Wand Massage

Time for You Holistic practitioners are now incorporating Kansa into facial, body and feet treatments.

From a historical point of view, there is only one Metal Alloy for Healing. in India this is known as Kansa

Kansa was first made in the Bronze Age, which is said to be one of the most innovative
alloys ever created 5000 years ago.
Kansa was also thought to have great therapeutic value and was introduced as a
precious metal in Ayurveda.This traditional healing tool was used for the
Ayurvedic treatments, Kansa Vataki and has been made in India
by artisans for generations.
Today artisans still work with loving care and keen attention to quality and detail,
combining tradition with innovation to produce beautiful body care tools.

The Kansa massage tools can be as simple as a thinly lipped cup to more elaborate

forms made from the purest Kansa,with a rich Gold hue fitted upon a handcrafted

Rosewood handle.
Kansa has therapeutic benefits beyond the common foot application.

For years we witnessed the relaxing and balancing effects of Kansa bowl feet treatments.

According to the accepted theory at the time, Kansa was a tri-doshic metal alloy and

it helped to bring balance to the three doshas or subtle energies of Ayurveda : VATTA, PITTA and KAPHA.

Furthermore, it relaxed the full body, helped detoxify the internal organs and also help in balancing

the body’s innate energy. When rubbing the Kansa wand back and forth along the entire body and feet the oil used will slowly turn grey. This is the Kansa attracting and discharging the negative acidity from the body.

ln lndia many skin treatments have been practiced in Kansa substance to get to any disorders. When it has the property of healing disorders it can rejuvenate the skin naturally.

Time for You Holistic practitioners are now incorporating Kansa into facial, body and feet
treatments. When working with the Kansa Wand on the skin the tissues look fuller,
age lines are dramatically decreased and the face looks brighter and more alive.
To see faces lifted, lines decreased and tissues looking more restored to a youthful vigor and radiance is a surprise. After further researching the Kansa we understood why this happens, simply put Kansa is a fantastic carrier of electricity. Because our bodiesare electromagnetic, Kansa works with our own natural electromagnetism and enhances it and naturally brings more charge and vitality to the face.

According to Eastern traditions we are still in a Bronze Age.

Thus in a time when we seek simplicity and sustainability and continue to practice traditional treatments from around the world it stands to reasons that Kansa is the new

“ancient” kid on the block, for bodywork Kansa massage for face, body, skin and feet offer inexpensive and highly effective new possibilities-

Ayurveda is the oldest healing science in the world.

Derived from its ancient Sanskrit roots -“Ayu” meaning Iife and “veda” meaning wisdom, offering the holistic and natural approach to a healthy life.

The metal Kansa is called the healing metal in Ayurveda.

The Kansa foot massage is an Ayurvedic treatment which has been used for centuries.

This is a wonderful and unique treatment that works holistically to balance mind body and spirit.

The massage helps revitalize tired feet and also to re balance tri-dosha (vata, pitta, kapha)

as there are major energy and nerve endings in the feet that correspond to internal organs. As it has great importance the Kansa Wand is made from only the finest quality materials.

The benefits of using the Kansa Wand are it Relaxes tired feet, improves blood & lymphatic circulation, Enhances lower limb mobility, restores levels of Prana(energy) and promotes sound sleep.

Time for Your Hot Stones experience

Time for you Holistic practitioners are now offering Hot Stone Massage

A specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body. The heat can be both deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply, more quickly.

Hot stones warmed by fire were used by Native Americans to treat aching muscles, but the modern revival of hot stones in massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona.

Today the stones are sterilized and heated in a water bath of 120- to 150-degree water. The stones themselves are usually basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well and has been smoothed by natural forces in the river or sea.

A hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy. It’s used to help you relax and ease tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout your body.

During a hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body. The stones are usually made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat. According to the University of New Hampshire Health Services, hot massage stones are heated to between 130 and 145 degrees.

The stones may be placed:

along your spine
on your stomach
on your chest
on your face
on your palms
on your feet and toes
Massage therapists may hold heated stones as they massage your body using Swedish massage techniques such as:

long strokes
circular movements
vibration
tapping
kneading
Sometimes, cold stones are also used during a hot stone massage. Cold stones may be used after hot stones to calm any engorged blood vessels and to soothe the skin.

All massages generally fall under the alternative medicine umbrella. They’re becoming a popular complementary therapy for many conditions. Here are some advantages of getting a hot stone massage:

1. Helps relieve muscle tension and pain

Heat has long been used to ease muscle tension and pain. It helps increase blood flow to the affected area. It may also reduce muscle spasms and increase flexibility and range of motion. Cold therapy helps relieve inflammation. Depending on your symptoms, alternating hot and cold stones during your massage may be helpful.

2. Reduces stress and anxiety

3. Promotes sleep

Massage is thought to help you enjoy more restorative sleep, although it’s not completely understood why.

4. May help relieve symptoms of autoimmune diseasesHot stone massage may relieve painful conditions such as fibromyalgia. Fibrillation is a condition that causes widespread, chronic pain.

A 2013 study found that people with rheumatoid arthritis may benefit from a moderate-pressure massage, such as hot stone massage. Participants in the study experienced less pain, greater grip strength, and a greater range of motion after one month of massage therapy.

5. May help decrease cancer symptoms
A large, three-year study published in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management examined how massage affected pain, fatigue, stress and anxiety, nausea, and depression in 1,290 people with cancer. The study showed massage, especially Swedish massage, improved cancer symptoms, even in those with substantial symptoms. Researchers believe the comforting use of human touch played a role.

6. May boost immunity

Anyone who is experiencing muscle tension and pain, insomnia, or stress may benefit from a hot stone massage. If you have a chronic condition that causes pain, talk to your doctor to see if a hot stone massage is a good option for you.

When performed by a trained therapist, a hot stone massage is generally safe. There are some circumstances where it should be avoided. Consult your doctor before getting a massage if you have:

a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners
burns on your skin
open wounds
a history of blood clots
had surgery in the last 6 weeks
a fracture or severe osteoporosis
diabetes
Hot Stone massage is not appropriate if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or are on medication that thins your blood. You shouldn't get a hot stone massage if you are pregnant or have a sunburn.

You also may want to reconsider if you are menopausal as it may trigger a hot flash.

Some Client Feedback to Hot Stone Experience:
