Udvartana at Utpala Ayurdhama
Udvartana is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy offered at Utpala Ayurdhama that focuses on weight loss, detoxification, and improving skin tone. This invigorating treatment uses a combination of specially formulated herbal powders or pastes, which are massaged onto the body in a unique upward stroke pattern, designed to stimulate circulation, break down fat deposits, and exfoliate the skin.
What is Udvartana?
Udvartana is derived from the Sanskrit words “Urdhva,” meaning upward, and “Vartanam,” meaning movement. This reflects the upward strokes used during the massage. It is a dry powder massage or a paste massage, where the herbs are chosen based on the individual’s dosha imbalance, particularly focusing on reducing Kapha dosha and excess fat in the body.
At Utpala Ayurdhama, we provide customized Udvartana treatments tailored to your body type and health conditions, ensuring optimal results for weight management and skin rejuvenation.
The Procedure of Udvartana
- Application of Herbal Powders: A blend of medicated herbal powders or pastes is prepared, often including herbs like Triphala, Turmeric, and Mustard. These powders are selected based on your prakriti (body constitution) and the desired therapeutic outcome.
- Upward Strokes Massage: The powder or paste is massaged onto the body using firm, rhythmic upward strokes. This helps to stimulate circulation, exfoliate the skin, and encourage lymphatic drainage.
- Detoxification and Exfoliation: The massage not only helps break down fat deposits but also removes dead skin cells and toxins from the body, leaving the skin smoother and more radiant.
- Duration: The Udvartana therapy session typically lasts for 45 to 60 minutes, followed by a herbal steam bath or warm shower to help further release toxins and enhance the effects of the treatment.
Benefits of Udvartana
- Weight Loss and Inch Loss: One of the primary benefits of Udvartana is the reduction of body fat. The vigorous massage helps in breaking down fat deposits, leading to visible inch loss and weight reduction.
- Detoxification: The herbal powders used in Udvartana help draw out toxins from the skin and deeper tissues, promoting overall detoxification and purification of the body.
- Improves Skin Tone: The treatment acts as a natural exfoliant, removing dead skin cells and rejuvenating the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and glowing.
- Reduces Cellulite: The massage helps in breaking down cellulite and improving the appearance of the skin, especially in areas like thighs, hips, and abdomen.
- Balances Kapha Dosha: Udvartana is particularly effective in balancing Kapha dosha, which is responsible for weight gain, lethargy, and excess fluid retention.
- Boosts Circulation: The upward strokes stimulate blood flow, helping to improve circulation and nourish tissues, which enhances overall health and vitality.
