The experience
A dry, botanical body massage with rhythmic powder application and a distinctly tactile sensory experience.
Udwarthanam is a traditional Ayurvedic dry powder massage using herbal powder and purposeful, rhythmic strokes. The powder creates a distinctive dry texture and a more tactile experience than an oil massage. The areas included, pressure and powder preparation are discussed before starting. The experience is kept practical and comfortable, with the team taking account of skin and fragrance sensitivities.
