UDVARTANA MASSAGE

Udvartana is a treatment in Ayurveda in which specially prepared herbal paste or herbal powder is massaged over the body. It is a treatment used to support weight loss or detoxification programs.

What is Udvartana?

In Sanskrit the word Udvartana means “to move something in an upward direction”. This refers to the upward direction of the strokes used during the massage. The brisk massage techniques combined with the penetrating herbs creates heat in the body to help liquify toxins, reduce fluid retention and increase circulation.

There are two types of Udvartana, and the ingredients used vary according to the condition:
