Description
Skin/ Body cleansing is an imperative daily care regime. In the modern era, we use a variety of detergent-based skin cleansers, which, however, tear away the essential oils from the skin as well which makes the skin conditions more vulnerable.
Body exfoliation/Skin Cleansing or Udarvartna is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing as per Ayurveda. The procedure of Udarvartna refers to use applying of dry herbal powders or herbal paste on the body and massaging in elevated or upward strokes.
“Panchakarma therapies are becoming popular in India and throughout the world. Udvartana is one of the Panchakarma therapies which differ from Abhyanga in its direction of application and pressure during the procedure. It is a simple and affordable procedure with no harmful effects. Udvartana has its efficacy on various diseases like obesity, dyslipidemia, and cerebral palsy. It possesses Shoshana (absorption) and Kapha Medohara (alleviation of vitiated Kapha and Meda) properties. It has also proven its importance and benefits on various psychophysical parameters.”
The main benefits of Udarvartna are to remove toxins through the skin. This procedure not only benefits the cleansing and polishing of the exterior of the skin but also benefits the internal body and mind. Hence, exfoliating is an all-encompassing mind and body relaxation experience.
