Udwarthana, a process of invigorating the whole body through a powder massage, is done using herbs and grains which contain the property of scrapping the fat. The herbal powder is selected in accordance with the health condition and skin type of the person. Usually done with a prior oil application, udwarthana can also be performed without oil in exceptional cases. The oil used for udwarthanam is sesame-based, hot in potency, and infused with herbs, ensuring the skin remains soft and supple post-treatment.
