Gharshana Detox (Udwarthanam)

The Ayurvedic Detox for Lightness & Clarity

Feeling heavy, sluggish, or weighed down? Gharshana, also known as Udwarthanam, is a dynamic Ayurvedic therapy that awakens the body and restores vitality. Unlike a relaxing oil massage, this ritual uses vigorous, upward strokes with a dry herbal powder to stimulate circulation, break down stagnation, and energise both body and mind. The result: you’ll feel lighter, clearer, and deeply recharged.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a brisk massage using a dry herbal powder blend of organic grains and Ayurvedic herbs. The rhythmic friction stimulates circulation, tones tissues, and awakens the lymphatic system. You’ll then enter a traditional herbal steam box, where the body is gently enveloped in heat while the head remains cool — protecting prana and calming the mind. This warmth opens pores, supports detoxification, and enhances the cleansing effect, leaving you light, refreshed, and renewed.

How to Prepare / Aftercare

• Bring comfortable clothing as herbal powder may leave residue.

• Stay hydrated with warm water or herbal tea after your session.

• Avoid heavy meals immediately before or after treatment.

Your Path to Lasting Wellness

While one session provides immediate lightness, a series of 3–6 treatments is traditionally recommended for the best results — especially for detox, weight management, or skin health.

Important Note (Gender Specific)

For full-body Ayurvedic treatments, male guests are treated by male therapists and female guests by female therapists. This honours Ayurvedic tradition and ensures your comfort.
