UDVARTANAM (DRY MASSAGE) – 4 HANDS

It is generally accepted that Ayurvedic procedures are primarily medicinal oil or medicinal decoctions, but there are exceptions. Udvartanam is one of the few Ayurvedic treatments that is performed using herbal powders.

Udvartanam is a therapeutic deep tissue massage using herbal powders, which is ascending, from the extremities to the center, stroking, where the powder is forcibly rubbed all over the body. The powder is a crushed medicinal herb with other additives such as chickpeas, soy flour, turmeric, clay and sandalwood powder. In fact, this procedure is a massage with a scrub, which has a strong therapeutic effect.

ORDER OF PROCEDURE:

The herbal powder is heated to a comfortable temperature. The massage is done in the opposite direction to the hair follicles. If the procedure is done by one therapist, the duration of the massage is 90 minutes, if two therapists are involved, then 45 minutes is sufficient. Upon completion, the patient can take a warm shower.

In our salon, we offer a 30-minute relaxation to combine with one of the two useful and pleasant treatments at the client’s choice: head massage or foot massage. This short rest period lets your body cool down, stabilize your circulation and allow the herbal properties to absorb. You can also opt for bashpa sweda (Indian steam sauna) for 20 minutes.
