Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If you have not found the answer to your question, please email us as hello@marmaayurveda.org and we will be very happy to assist you.

What materials are Marma Ayurveda products made from?

At Marma Ayurveda, each product is crafted from pure, natural materials chosen for their authenticity, quality, and connection to traditional Ayurvedic practice. We work with neem wood, pure copper, kansa, and natural cotton and hemp textiles, while also taking care to use sustainable, eco-conscious packaging wherever possible.

Wooden combs and Marma massage sticks are made from neem wood.
Copper tongue scrapers, water enhancers, and neti pots are made from pure copper.
Kansa massage bowls are made from kansa, a traditional copper-tin alloy.
Accessory bags are made from hemp and cotton.

What does the Marma Ayurveda copper water enhancer do?

Our copper water enhancer is designed to bring the traditional benefits of storing water in pure copper into your daily routine. In Ayurveda, copper is valued for its natural antimicrobial properties and is believed to support digestion, gently stimulate metabolism, and help harmonise water in a way that supports overall balance.

Using a copper water enhancer may help:
support healthy digestion.
encourage healthy metabolic function, according to Ayurvedic tradition.
harmonise water in line with Ayurvedic principles.
provide natural antimicrobial benefits.

Why choose copper?

Copper is valued for its natural antimicrobial properties and has long been used in Ayurveda for cleansing rituals and water purification.

How does a copper tongue scraper work?

Copper tongue scrapers help gently remove the coating that naturally builds up on the tongue overnight. Copper is valued in Ayurveda for its natural antibacterial properties and is traditionally used to support a cleaner mouth, fresher breath, and better oral hygiene.

Using a copper tongue scraper can help:
remove tongue coating.
reduce bacteria.
freshen breath.
support oral hygiene as part of an Ayurvedic daily routine.

Will copper products change colour over time?

Yes. Over time, copper naturally develops a patina, which is a normal and expected part of its aging process. This is a natural sign of authenticity and does not affect the quality of the product.
We would recommend cleaning copper products regularly using lemon juice, salt, or a natural copper polish to restore its shine.

Are Neem wood products safe for the skin?

Yes, neem wood is considered gentle and well suited to skin contact. It is naturally valued in Ayurveda for its antibacterial properties and is especially appreciated for use on sensitive skin.

Why choose neem wood?

Neem wood is naturally antibacterial, durable, and gentle on the skin, making it an ideal material for massage tools and combs.

Are Marma Ayurveda products handmade?

Yes, all of our products are handcrafted using traditional Ayurvedic methods. As a result, each item may vary slightly in appearance and may include minor natural imperfections — all of which are part of the unique character of handmade craftsmanship.

Do Marma Ayurveda products support daily Ayurvedic practice?

Yes, all Marma Ayurveda products are traditional Ayurvedic instruments used in cleansing, massage, and daily Ayurvedic routine in order to promote longevity.

What is Marma Therapy?

Marma Therapy is a traditional Ayurvedic practice that works with vital energy points on the body. It is used to help restore balance, ease tension, and support overall wellbeing.

Our neem wood sticks and kansa massage bowl are designed to support this practice by helping to:
reduce tension.
improve circulation.
balance energy.
support emotional and physical wellbeing.

Can I practice Marma Therapy on my own?

Yes, basic techniques are generally safe and easy to learn. More advanced methods are best practised after proper training or under the guidance of a certified therapist.

Are your products suitable for therapists?

Absolutely. Our products are used by Ayurvedic practitioners, massage therapists, yoga teachers, energy healers, and Kalarippayattu instructors.

What can I expect at Marma Ayurveda retreats?

At our events, the experience may include Marma Therapy sessions, Ayurvedic rituals, Kalarippayattu training, meditation and breathwork, healing workshops, yoga practice, and traditional rituals and tool practices. Our retreat programs welcome beginners as well as advanced practitioners.

Are Marma Ayurveda products used during our retreats?

Yes, our products are used during our retreats, and participants also have the opportunity to purchase private tools during their stay. Commonly used items include kansa foot bowls, neem massage sticks, copper tongue scrapers, and neem combs.

How long does shipping take?

Standard delivery: from 3 to 5 business days and 7 days for international shipments within the EU. We ship within the UK and EU only.

Can I return a product?

Yes. You may return products within 14 days of receiving your order if the product has not been used. To request a return, please send us an email with your order number, the product name, and the reason for your return.

What are the conditions for returns?

To be eligible for a return, the product must be unused. Cotton pouches and all packaging must be complete, and return shipping costs are paid by the customer.

Is the packaging eco-friendly?

Yes. We use natural, recyclable materials whenever possible.

How long will the Marma Ayurveda products last for?

Our products are made from durable, high-quality natural materials and are designed to last for many years with proper care. Neem wood, copper, and kansa can all remain beautiful and functional for a long time when used and maintained correctly.
