The Kanzu Bowl – Kansa Vati is a true name – is fused of five metals, of which the known ones are Copper, Bronze, and Zinc. All the Kanzu bowls are made by expert artisans in India, keeping for thousands of years the “savoir-faire”. Every Kanzu bowl is very unique with a vibrant energy.
This Indian reflexology approach is based on harmonizing the five elements: Ether, Fire, Air, Water and Earth – according to the Ayurvedic principles (Traditional Indian Medicine). Those elements are the fundamental components of the expression of Life.
The foot massage with the Kanzu bowl is ideal to calm down the excesses of the fire element in the body (frustrations, irritability, anger) with an effect of dispersion (stress, anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, burn out, insomnias).
Actions of the metals in the Kanzu bowl on the human body: Copper, great regulator of heat, reduces and transmutes fat into muscles. Zinc helps digestion and boosts metabolism at the muscular and circulatory levels. Bronze regulates Copper and Zinc. The two other metals are kept secret, and certainly are keys to the uniqueness of the look-like Tibetan bowl.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A KANZU BOWL FOOT MASSAGE?
First the eyes are covered with pads moisturized with rose water. No need to undress. Feet will be slightly elevated for comfortable access. This massage uses Ghee (organic clarified butter) or Shea Butter (Certified Organic).
Gentle circles are made by spiraling the Kanzu bowl with Ghee or Shea Butter on the sole of the foot. Each foot receives 15 minutes. At the end of the session, each foot is wrapped with a warm towel to help great penetration of the Ghee, which deeply nourishes the connective tissues of the foot and the body.
BENEFITS
Decrease the negative aspects of stress
Increase metabolism
Mental Clarity
Recharge the body with Prana.
