WHY RAW SILK?

Unlike processed silk, raw silk retains beneficial enzymes from the silkworm cocoon. These naturally occurring proteins are gentle on the skin, hypoallergenic & excellent for dry massage. Its slightly coarse, uneven texture makes raw silk an ideal exfoliant—removing dead skin while supporting healthy skin tone & texture.

MATERIAL: 100% Unbleached Raw Silk
Made in China | Includes cloth travel pouch | Elastic wristband prevents slipping during massage.

HOW TO USE

Directions:

With the exception of the heart area, you may massage the entire body as well as the face. Use small circular brush strokes for the joints & long sweeping brush strokes for the limbs & torso. It is best to brush toward the heart to assist the movement of lymph in the body, applying as much pressure as comfortable. Exert more force in areas of fatty tissue & brush gently on sensitive areas. Diagrams & print instructions included with each set of gloves.

Suggested Garshana Practice:

Wearing your 100% raw silk gloves, begin at the top of the head making small circular motions.

You may choose to lightly massage the face using small circular motions from the center outward.

Move to the neck & shoulder areas using long brush strokes.

Continue to the arms with long strokes, incorporating circular motions at your wrists & elbows.

Next, massage the abdominal area in a clockwise motion, the natural path of digestion.

The lower back & hips/buttocks area can be massaged using the circular motion.

Finish the massage with feet & legs using circular strokes for the knees & ankles & long strokes for the feet & legs.

Once finished, complete your routine with a shower to rinse the toxins & follow with your PAAVANI Body Oil.

Garshana Facial Sequence:

Lymph drain down along the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), located at the base of your skull on either side of your neck, behind your ears. (3x)

Facial sweep up the jaw line, drawing up to the ears. (3x)

Sweep from the upper lip to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). (3x)

Sweep from the nose bridge to cheeks. (3x)

Sweep from the 3rd eye to temples. (3x)

Sweep from the hair line to temples. (3x)

Forehead friction using finger pads of both hands moving back and forth.

Cheek friction in a figure 8 motion on the cheeks.

Close your massage with a facial sweep up the face and across the forehead. (3x)

Once finished, complete your routine with your PAAVANI Ayurveda Skincare Ritual.

Caring for your products:

Hand-loomed, thick-weave 100% raw silk allows the gloves to be machine washed & dried, making them even more exfoliating & knobbed with each wash. Do not iron or bleach.

THE AYURVEDIC APPROACH

Garshana, Sanskrit for “dry rubbing,” is a traditional Ayurvedic dry massage technique practiced for thousands of years to invigorate the body, stimulate lymphatic flow & awaken the skin’s natural detoxification processes. Rooted in the belief that health begins with balanced circulation & the efficient removal of toxins (ama), Garshana is typically performed in the morning to activate energy (prana), clear stagnation & prepare the body for the day ahead.

Using natural raw silk gloves, Garshana is traditionally recommended to:

Gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells & promoting a healthy glow
Stimulate lymphatic drainage to support the body's natural detoxification
Boost circulation & ignite sluggish energy, especially beneficial during Kapha season
Enhance the absorption of herbal oils or moisturizers applied afterward
Balance the doshas by encouraging movement, lightness & vitality

In Ayurveda, regular Garshana is particularly supportive for Kapha dosha imbalances—marked by feelings of heaviness, sluggish digestion, water retention, or low motivation—but it benefits all doshas when practiced with mindful pressure & intention. This ancient self-care ritual not only promotes physical health, but also fosters a deeper connection between body, mind & spirit, aligning with Ayurveda’s holistic approach to daily wellness.
