Udvarthanam is an Ayurvedic massage therapy that involves a deep tissue massage using a herbal powder, typically made from a mixture of chickpea flour, turmeric, and various Ayurvedic herbs.
The benefits of Udvarthanam massage include weight loss, reduction of cellulite, improved circulation, exfoliation of the skin, improved digestion, and stress relief.
An Udvarthanam massage session typically lasts between 60-90 minutes.
You should wear loose, comfortable clothing for an Udvarthanam massage session. It’s also recommended to bring a change of clothes as the herbal powder used during the massage can stain clothing.
Udvarthanam massage can be intense and vigorous, but it should not be painful. If you experience any discomfort during the massage, be sure to communicate with your therapist.
There are many Ayurvedic centers in India that offer Udvarthanam massage. Some of the best centers are located in Kerala, including Kairali Ayurvedic Healing Village, Ayurmana Ayurveda Center, and Somatheeram Ayurveda Resort. It’s important to do your research and choose a reputable center with trained and experienced practitioners.
