UDVARTANA - Ayurvedic Powder Massage for Weight Loss
Udvartana is a type of Ayurvedic body massage performed in upward strokes using a mixture/powder made from medicinal herbs. Unlike other massage therapies, the rubdown is performed in the opposite direction, aiding fat burn, exfoliation of skin and stress-relief.
There are two types of Udvartana procedures in Kerala Ayurveda that are followed with precision and accuracy at Herbal Heal. The first is Snigadh or Sneha Udvartana, which is powder massage using a herbal paste that is prepared from a mixture of powdered herbs and medicated oils. The second variety is called Ruksha Udvartana, which is primarily a dry procedure involving rubdown with a coarse powder made from herbs.
The therapists at Herbal Heal are skilled in both Udvartana techniques. Once the client’s body has been massaged with oils, the herbal paste/powder is rubbed from hands to shoulders, lower back to neck, feet to thighs and thighs to the buttocks. On the abdomen, rubbing is done in a clockwise direction from small to big circles.
