It improves the muscle tone and cleansing of the skin. This therapy is highly recommended for dissolving fat from the body. The powder contains nourishing agents such as amla, deodar, bibhitaki, senna, kulthi and others. In Udvartana treatment, the powder is applied on the entire body for a period of 30-45 minutes.
