Udwarthanam + Steam Bath

Full-body herbal powder scrub paired with herbal steam bath. Stimulates metabolism, breaks down subcutaneous fat and supports weight management when paired with diet and exercise.

I · Overview

This treatment combines a full-body Udvarthanam, a warm dry herbal-powder scrub massaged upward against the direction of hair growth, with a herbal steam chamber (Bashpa Swedana) immediately afterwards. Together they stimulate metabolism, help break down stubborn subcutaneous fat, improve circulation and sweat out toxins.

It is an excellent natural therapy for weight management and body toning, leaving most people with an immediate sense of lightness and refreshed energy.
