Udwarthanam

Udvartana is an Ayurvedic therapy involving a vigorous massage with dry herbal powders or lightly oiled paste.

The term means “upward rubbing,” referring to the vigorous, upward strokes used during the massage. The practitioner applies the warm herbal powders all over the body or on specific areas, generating heat and exfoliating the skin as the buffing motion stimulates circulation.
