Udwarthanam Ayurvedic Herbal Scrub
Udwarthanam is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy designed to invigorate the body, promote detoxification, and restore vitality. The name "Udwarthanam" means "to elevate," signifying its ability to uplift circulation, metabolism, and overall energy levels. This treatment combines a warm herbal oil massage with a dry herbal scrub, stimulating the lymphatic system and encouraging the natural elimination of toxins. It is particularly beneficial for Kapha dosha imbalances, making it an excellent choice for those experiencing sluggishness, water retention, or heaviness.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
The session begins with the application of a warm herbal oil, massaged in rhythmic, stimulating strokes to activate circulation and nourish the skin. This is followed by the application of a specially formulated herbal powder, vigorously scrubbed over the body to exfoliate the skin, break down stagnation in the tissues, and enhance lymphatic drainage. The treatment concludes with warm towel compress, leaving the skin refreshed, smooth, and revitalised. You are welcome to use the shower to rinse off after your treatment.

Who is Udwarthanam Best Suited For?
This treatment is best suited for individuals with a damp constitution, meaning those with more oily or congested skin. It is highly recommended for those looking to boost their circulation, support detoxification, or complement a weight management program. It is particularly beneficial during seasonal transitions or when feeling heavy, lethargic, or stagnant. Udwarthanam is not recommended as a first-time treatment but rather as part of a series of detoxifying or balancing therapies.
Important Considerations
Due to the vigorous and stimulating nature of this treatment, Udwarthanam may not be suitable for highly sensitive individuals or those with mature, thin, or very dry skin, as it is drying and purifying in quality. It is also not suitable for individuals with active rashes, sunburn, eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis. Clients should avoid shaving, waxing, or excessive sun exposure prior to the treatment to prevent irritation. After your session, it is recommended to stay hydrated, avoid excessive sun exposure, and allow the body time to integrate the detoxification process.
For those seeking an even deeper detoxification experience, an infrared sauna session can be added to further support lymphatic flow and toxin elimination.
