Udwarthanam for Weight Management

Udwarthanam is traditionally included in some Ayurvedic approaches to weight management and metabolic wellness. The therapy may be used as part of a broader programme that can include appropriate diet, lifestyle modifications, exercise and other Ayurvedic treatments.

The herbal powders used during Udwarthanam provide a traditional exfoliating action. The massage may help remove superficial dead skin cells and leave the skin feeling smoother and refreshed.

The specific herbal ingredients are selected according to the individual's skin condition and treatment objectives.
