About Udwarthanam
Udwarthanam reverses the usual direction of Ayurvedic massage. Herbal powders are worked upward against the lie of the body hair with firm pressure. Where Abhyanga soothes, Udwarthanam stimulates, which is why the two are used in quite different situations.
What a session involves
The powder blend is selected for your constitution and applied dry or mixed to a paste. Therapists work upward over the limbs and trunk with brisk, firm strokes. Sessions run 45 to 60 minutes and are followed by a warm bath.
