Udwarthanam

Ayurvedic Herbal Detox Massage

Udwarthanam is a dry ayurvedic detox treatment designed to invigorate the body, boost circulation, and enhance skin radiance. Unlike traditional oil massages, this deeply cleansing therapy uses a blend of herbal powders, applied with firm, upward strokes to exfoliate the skin, break down fat deposits, and stimulate the body’s natural detoxification process.

What to Expect in a Session

A blend of finely ground Ayurvedic herbs, including turmeric, sandalwood, and manjistha, is applied to the body with vigorous, rhythmic strokes. The friction-based massage technique stimulates the lymphatic system, encouraging the release of toxins and excess fluids. As a dry treatment with no oil, Udwarthanam helps to absorb excess oils from the skin, leaving it toned, polished, and glowing.

By activating the lymphatic system and promoting metabolic balance, Udwarthanam helps to eliminate toxins while leaving the skin smooth, refreshed, and revitalised.
