Ayurvedic Ruksha Udgharshan for Metabolic Correction & Fat-Mobilisation
Udvartanam is a classical Ayurvedic body-scrubbing therapeutic procedure using medicated herbal powders (Ruksha Choorna) or herbal paste mixed with oil, applied in a specialised upward-directional massage technique.
Unlike oil-based Sneha therapies, Udvartana is a “Ruksha / Ushna” therapy that specifically targets Kapha accumulation, subcutaneous fat, lymphatic stagnation, and metabolic slowness.
It is one of the most indicated Ayurvedic therapies for inch-loss, cellulite reduction, obesity correction, sluggish circulation, PCOS metabolic weight, Kapha-dominant body types and post-pregnancy stubborn fat areas.
AYURVEDIC VIEW / HOW IT WORKS
Udvartanam uses warm, herbal powders massaged upward to boost circulation, break down stubborn fat, stimulate lymphatic flow, and speed up metabolism—helping the body feel lighter, toned, and more energised.
UDVARTANAM THERAPY INCULDE
Pathological Kapha + Meda (fat) + Ama (toxins) → becomes Sthaulya (obesity / stubborn fat).
