Udvarthanam
About This Therapy
Udvarthanam is a unique and energising Ayurvedic dry powder massage that works against the direction of hair follicles the opposite of most massages. Using specifically formulated herbal powders, this treatment is deeply stimulating, exfoliating, and medically powerful. It is particularly well-regarded for weight management, lymphatic drainage, and the treatment of conditions involving excess Kapha dosha.

How It Works
The session begins with a brief oil application to protect the skin. The therapist then applies a warm medicated herbal powder and massages in upward, vigorous strokes working against the hair follicles. This technique creates friction, generates internal heat, and stimulates the subcutaneous tissue and lymphatic channels. The session produces a noticeable warming sensation as circulation increases and the body's metabolic processes are activated.
