Udvartana Lymphatic Drainage Massage: Ayurvedic Detox & Cellulite Treatment
Udvartana (also spelled Udwarthanam) is an ancient Ayurvedic massage technique that combines exfoliation and detoxification for total body wellness. The term Udvartana comes from Sanskrit, meaning “to elevate” or “to promote,” symbolizing its powerful revitalizing effects on the body and mind.
Unlike conventional oil-based massages, Udvartana lymphatic drainage massage uses a customized herbal powder or paste, made with finely ground Ayurvedic herbs, to gently stimulate the lymphatic system, exfoliate the skin, and flush out toxins.
At our Bondi Junction Ayurvedic Centre, this traditional massage is adapted as a natural lymphatic drainage massage for detox and cellulite reduction, designed to energize the body and enhance well-being.
What is Udvartana Massage?
Udvartana is a dry or wet Ayurvedic massage performed using specific herbal powders or pastes. The treatment includes rhythmic upward strokes, applied with moderate pressure to stimulate circulation, activate the lymphatic system, and remove metabolic waste and Ama (toxins) from the body.
This herbal scrub massage works deeply on the skin and lymph channels, making it one of the most effective Ayurvedic massages for detoxification, skin health, and body contouring.
