Udvartan – Deep & Dry Herbal Powder Massage

What is Udvartan – Deep & Dry Herbal Powder Massage?

Udvartan is a specialized Ayurvedic massage that uses a combination of dry, herbal powders applied with firm, upward strokes across the entire body. Unlike oil-based massages, Udvartan is dry, invigorating, and detoxifying, making it particularly effective for Kapha-related imbalances such as sluggishness, fluid retention, or stubborn weight gain.

The herbal powders used in Udvartan are selected based on your dosha and may include ingredients like triphala, sandalwood, turmeric, barley, and other metabolism-boosting herbs. This treatment not only enhances circulation and exfoliates the skin, but also stimulates the lymphatic system and helps in breaking down subcutaneous fat.

At House of Arogya, Udvartan is used as both a therapeutic and cosmetic therapy, often integrated into detox programs, weight loss plans, and skin rejuvenation routines.
