Udwarthanam
Whole body scrub
Udwarthanam is the name of a therapeutic treatment that involves massing the body with a herbal powder. However, in this treatment, the massage strokes are carried out in a counterclockwise direction, which is opposite to the strokes used in a normal massage. Specifically designed for weight loss, cellulite & water retention. It is also good for sluggish lymphatic flow and low immune system strength.
