Udvartana is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy that involves a full-body massage using a herbal powder or paste. The word “Udvartana” is derived from Sanskrit, where “Ud” means upward and “Vartana” means movement or circulatory. This therapy is designed to improve blood circulation, exfoliate the skin, and promote detoxification.
During an Udvartana session, the herbal powder is applied to the body with specific massage techniques, typically involving vigorous upward strokes. Some of the benefits of Udvartana include:
1. Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth and glowing.
2. Detoxification: Helps in detoxifying the skin and body by stimulating lymphatic drainage.
3. Weight Management: May aid in reducing excess subcutaneous fat and improving body contour.
4. Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow and revitalizes the body.
5. Skin Health: Improves skin tone and texture.
Udvartana is often used in Ayurveda to balance the doshas (body energies), especially Kapha dosha, and is considered beneficial for individuals seeking detoxification and rejuvenation.
