In a city known for its industrious spirit and culinary delights, maintaining a healthy weight can be a challenge. If you are struggling with stubborn fat, cellulite, or a sluggish metabolism, Poornaayur in Coimbatore offers a time-tested, natural solution: Udwarthanam.
Unlike traditional oil massages, Udwarthanam is a vigorous, deep-tissue treatment designed specifically to mobilize fat and detoxify the body. At our Race Course center, we bring the authentic Kerala tradition of powder massage to help you achieve your fitness goals holistically.
The term Udwarthanam refers to a massage performed in an upward direction (opposite to the hair follicles). This therapy utilizes specialized herbal powders (Choornas)—such as Triphala, Kolakulathadi, or horse gram powder—which are massaged firmly into the skin.
At Poornaayur, we offer two primary versions of this therapy:
Ruksha Udwarthanam (Dry Powder): Best for significant weight loss and reducing excess “Kapha” (oiliness/heaviness).
Snigdha Udwarthanam (Herbal Paste): Uses herbal powders mixed with medicated oils, ideal for those with sensitive skin who still wish to tone and detoxify.
Udwarthanam isn’t just a surface-level treatment; it works through several physiological mechanisms:
Thermogenesis: The vigorous friction generates heat, which helps in “liquefying” subcutaneous fat deposits.
Lymphatic Drainage: The upward strokes stimulate the lymphatic system, flushing out metabolic waste and reducing water retention (bloating).
Metabolic Boost: By stimulating the Agni (metabolic fire) within the tissues, it helps the body burn calories more efficiently.
Cellulite Reduction: The deep pressure breaks down the fibrous bands of cellulite, leading to smoother, tighter skin.
Choosing Poornaayur means choosing a legacy of over 30 years in Ayurvedic excellence through Right Herbal.
Expert Guidance: Every weight loss journey begins with a free consultation with our BAMS doctors to customize the herbal blend for your body type.
Proven Packages: We offer 7, 14, and 21-day intensive Udwarthanam packages that combine therapy with dietary advice for maximum results.
Premium Ingredients: We use authentic medicated powders sourced from Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala, ensuring no synthetic fillers touch your skin.
Holistic Care: Beyond the massage, we integrate Swedanam (herbal steam) to ensure the mobilized toxins are fully expelled through the pores.
Duration: 60–90 minutes (depending on body condition and requirement)
