Udwarthanam means to raise or elevate in Sanskrit: the name is probably derived from the treatment’s ability to increase the physical condition of the massaged person. The massage is a unique therapy where a medicated powder is gently applied over the whole body. The therapists gradually increase the massaging pressure to induce perspiration, which results in the most important benefit of this massage – reduction of weight.
Other positive effects include improving mobility of body joints and flexibility of limbs, eliminating bad body odour, giving the skin a soft texture and a healthy glow. To attain the desired result it is recommended to do the treatment from 7 up to 21 days. The slimming massage should be also complemented with changes in diet and lifestyle.
