Udwarthanam Ayurvedic Powder Massage Therapy
Udwarthanam is a classical Ayurvedic therapy that involves a dry or paste massage using herbal powders. The word “Udwarthanam” means to move upward, referring to the upward strokes used during the massage. This treatment is renowned for its ability to reduce fat, improve skin texture, and enhance blood circulation, making it an integral part of Ayurvedic detox and slimming therapies.
Therapeutic Procedure
In Udwarthanam, herbal powders (choornas) made from ingredients like kolakulathadi, triphala, vacha, and mustha are applied and rubbed over the body in upward strokes. The friction created by the massage helps to open pores, stimulate circulation, and mobilize toxins.
The therapy can be performed as:
Dry Udwarthanam: Using only herbal powders.
Snigdha Udwarthanam: Using herbal powders mixed with medicated oils for sensitive or dry skin.
