How to Use Your Artisan Copper & Wood Ritual Tool

Seven shapes, one material story. What each tool is for, where on the body it works, and the one cleaning rule that applies to all of them.

Artisan copper and wood massage tools for scalp, face and body from Irka & Co Glow Rituals

Seven shapes, one idea: natural hardwood and brass, worked slowly, on the part of you that needs it.

What you have

Each tool is made from natural hardwood with brass detailing, and each is shaped for a different job. You chose one — here is what it was made for.

Scalp Massage Comb

Ergonomic brass teeth for the scalp. Start at the hairline and draw it slowly back across the head. Slow down above the ears.

Solid Brass Tool

Heavy, mushroom-shaped brass pins. The weight is the point — let it do the pressing. Made for the back and thighs.

Round Body Massager

A wooden ring set with rotating metal spheres. Roll it along the arms and legs; the spheres turn as you go.

Finger Massage Tool

For targeted pressure — the small, specific places a larger tool cannot reach.

Cat Massage Comb

Long, sweeping strokes along the body, in the gua sha style. One direction, then lift and start again.

Little Frog Tool

A dual-leg design with acupressure nodes, for the jaw and neck.

Mini Kansa Wand

The face tool of the group. Worked in slow circles across the cheeks and under the eyes. Light pressure here — this is the most delicate skin you own.

Before you begin
  • Use a little oil. Every one of these tools works better with slip, and the wood and brass glide instead of dragging.
  • Take your time. None of these are quick tools.
  • Patch test the oil first if your skin is sensitive.

Direction of movement

Work upward. On the legs, firm sweeping strokes up the calves and thighs. On the arms, from the wrist toward the shoulder. On the face, slow circles rather than long strokes.

The principle behind all the Irka & Co body tools is the same: move slowly, always toward the heart.

Which oil to pair it with

For the body, Peppermint Refresh to cool tired muscles or Lavender Calm for the evening. For the Kansa wand on the face, Rose Radiance or Calendula Glow. All nine infusions use the same jojoba and camellia base, with no essential oils.

Cleaning and storage
  • Because they are made of natural materials, do not soak them in water.
  • Simply wipe them clean with a soft, dry cloth after use.
  • If used with oil, you can use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap — but dry immediately.
  • Brass darkens with time and handling. That patina is normal and does not affect the tool.
Care notes
  • Let the weight of the tool do the work, especially the brass one.
  • Light pressure on the face; firmer is fine on legs and back.
  • Skip any area where the skin is broken, irritated or sunburned.
  • This is a self-care ritual, not a treatment. If you have a medical condition or any concern, ask your doctor first.
