Udwarthanam

Udwarthanam is an Ayurvedic massage using herbal powders that helps improve joint mobility and flexibility, strengthen muscles and refresh the body. This massage is highly sought after for its natural and effective weight loss benefit.

What is the process of Udwarthanam?

Udwarthanam is part of the Ayurvedic treatment ‘Panchakarma’ to help maintain equilibrium of the ‘kapha-dosha’. In this treatment, massage is done using herbal powders. Herbs are cleaned, dried and powdered. This powder is then warmed and used for massage in an upward stroking manner. Massage is done by our trained therapists, in the seven positions in the opposite direction of your hair follicles. Our Ayurvedic consultant will assess your dosha status and advise herbs based on your constitution and whether oil is needed for your treatment.

What are the benefits?

Udwarthanam’s deep massage improves your blood circulation, opens the channels and effectively stimulates the breakdown of stored subcutaneous fat by improving your body’s metabolism; making it a great way to deal with obesity. It is also effective in dealing with some types of skin disorders through softening of your skin and exfoliating dead skin cells; thereby making your skin glow and eliminating any bad body odour.

Udwarthanam massage refreshes and rejuvenates your body – bringing a sense of lightness to the body.

How long is the treatment?

Udwarthanam massage generally lasts 60 minutes, but may vary from individual to individual. Treatment is advised as a full course for 7 or 10 days, depending on the individual’s condition.
