Description:
The term 'Garshan' simply means friction. These gloves are useful to perform dry massage for the skin.
A pair of Garshan gloves made of Raw silk are used in Ayurveda for dry massage without oil. They are used to stimulate and improve the circulation in connective tissue – especially to break down ama (waste products) and to reduce kapha. The gloves remove small skin cells and make your skin particularly soft and receptive to nourishing oils.
Our Garshan gloves are made of particularly heavy, unbleached Bourette silk. It naturally contains a lot of silk raffia. It is said to have antibacterial properties. You can choose whether you prefer to use the soft side or the coarser side of the glove.
