About the Scarab
The INVG Scarab, Walnut and Brass Acupressure Tool
A hand-finished acupressure tool, sourced with care and developed further by Jude, made from turned walnut and polished brass. Compact and weighted, refined through hands-on practice to sit comfortably in the hand and slip into your daily ritual.
Origin: Proudly made in China, home to centuries of craftsmanship and Chinese medicine tradition.
Ten solid brass spheres on the underside for focused pressure, plus two larger brass ends for broader areas. Because of this hands-on finishing, small seams where the brass meets the wood are part of its character.
Prefer a finish that stays smooth and clean against the skin? The Stainless Steel Scarab offers the same design in 304 steel. View the Stainless Steel Scarab

What people say
"I've tried many tools to relieve neck tension and this tool is unique. It's cool at first but as you're using it it warms up and warms your skin leaving a sensation like you've had a massage. Love this little tool!"
Angie H., verified buyer
"The scarab is a beautifully constructed tool that can be used in so many ways. The design is genius. I have been using it every day for myself and my husband. I love that I can hold pressure without killing my fingers."
Tomoko, verified buyer
"I use it mainly for the back of my neck and jaw area due to my bad habit of clenching my teeth when I sleep. When I use the Scarab, the muscles in my jaw and back of my neck loosen up."
Lynda M., verified buyer
Safety
How to Use Safely
The INVG Scarab is designed for acupressure — applying focused, firm-but-gentle pressure to traditional points on the body. A few things to keep in mind:
- Start with light pressure and gradually increase to a comfortable level
- Avoid pressing directly on the eyes, throat, or any open wounds
- Do not use on inflamed, broken, or sunburned skin
- If you feel sharp pain, ease off — acupressure should feel like deep, comfortable pressure, not pain
Brass is a natural metal that can develop a patina or leave temporary dark residue after contact with skin oils or moisture. This is a normal surface reaction. Use on clean, dry skin, wipe the brass before and after use, and stop if irritation occurs. If you know you are sensitive to copper or brass, patch test first or choose the stainless-steel Scarab.
If you have a medical condition or are pregnant, consult a healthcare practitioner before use.
Tradition and research
Educational information, not medical advice.
Acupressure is a traditional practice from Chinese medicine. Researchers continue to study it, but clinical findings cannot simply be transferred to a home self-care tool, so we do not use research to promise results. For medical concerns, speak with a qualified professional.
Care
After each use: wipe the brass ends with a soft, dry cloth and buff away any oil, balm or moisture before storing.
Brass and skin: brass reacts with skin oils and moisture, so a patina can develop and a temporary dark mark can appear on skin. Use on clean, dry skin and stop if irritation occurs. If you are sensitive to copper or brass, patch test first.
Occasional clean: use a cloth dampened with warm water and a drop of mild soap on the brass only, then dry at once. For tarnish, use a brass-polishing cloth. Avoid toothpaste, harsh chemicals and abrasives.
Storage: keep the walnut handle dry and store the Scarab in its canvas pouch, away from humidity and heat.
