Herbal body scrub and massage using medicated powers .
Udvarthanam is otherwise known as powder massage. Udvarthanam is a deep, dry and stimulating massage using special herbal powder to reduce cellulite accumulations, to improve circulation and to enhance your skin’s texture and appearance. We thoroughly exfoliate your body using a mixture of Ayurvedic powders which will break up fatty deposits and energize blood circulation. Udvarthanam is beneficial to diseases like hemiplegia, paralysis, obesity (excess fat). It imparts mobility to joints, strengthens muscles and refreshes the body. | |

In Udwarthanam, the body is massaged after an application of the aforementioned herbal paste to the skin. A warm bath that accompanies Udwarthanam then washes away the paste, all the while emitting a lovely scent of leaves.
There are many different types of Udwarthanam, and they are categorized with reference to their purposes, whether it is medical or for relaxation. We also note one of the most distinctive features of this treatment, as we have observed and which concurs with what our clients have reported to us: it leaves the skin glowing a “lustrous” colour.
Udwarthanam softens and exfoliates the skin, improves muscle tone, and is a favoured treatment for those with sensitive skin. In addition, Udwarthanam improves blood circulation and eases joint pains, and is also known to be effective against certain skin diseases. For those who wish to remove fat and dead cellulite, it is advisable to follow up Udwarthanam with herbal steam, Takara Dhara and internal medicine. (The last will be prescribed by the vaidya himself.)
