The herbs used in Udvartanam create lightness, dryness, roughness, removes the blockages, improves metabolism, distress the body, provides energy, revitalizes the
body, gives stiffness to the body and liquefies fat tissue. The herbal paste or powder when rubbed on the body creates friction, which builds heat in the tissues. Rubbing of the powder open pores of the skin, herbal powder penetrates the skin and the heat produced liquefies the subcutaneous fat.
