Udvartana is an Ayurvedic treatment in which a specially prepared herbal paste or herbal powder is massaged over the body. It is a treatment used to support weight loss or detoxification programs. Udvartana means “to move something in an upward direction” in Sanskrit, indicating the upward direction of the strokes used during the massage. The brisk massage techniques combined with the penetrating herbs create heat in the body to help decrease lethargy, release toxins, reduce fluid retention, and increase circulation. There are two types of Udvartana, and the ingredients used vary according to the condition: Snigdha Udvartana: Ayurvedic Paste Massage (warm massaging used along with herbal oils) Ruksha Udvartana: Ayurvedic Powder Massage (dry massage without herbal oil)

Before Treatment:
Before Udvartana, a consultation is conducted to assess the individual's health and skin type. This helps decide the type of Udvartana to be done. The body is then prepared with a light oil massage to open up the pores and relax the muscles.
After Treatment:
Instructions on post-treatment care-rest and avoid strenuous activities for a few hours—are provided to enhance the treatment's effectiveness. Depending on the purpose of the Udvartana treatment, it can be followed with a herbal steam to increase the detoxification benefits. Along with this, Udvartana Ayurveda treatment in Bangalore, also provides lifestyle recommendations, dietary plans, and guidelines on maintaining hydration and following a balanced diet.
