Udwarthanam

• Udwarthanam is the name of a body scrub with a herbal paste called lepan. According to the Ayurvedic-massage website, the latter is made from dry grain, medicated milk and a variety of oils.

The Ayurvedic-massage website says the lepan softens and exfoliates the skin and improves muscle tone. It's a favorite treatment by those who have sensitive skin and painful joints.

Navarakizhi

• According to the Ayurvedic-Massage website, the paste for navarakizhi is made out of rice soaked in herbs and oils. After the rice soaks, everything is cooked to steam and the remaining mixture is put into muslin tea bags. The body is massaged with these bags. The herbs in the tea bags make the body perspire and, with that, releases toxic waste. Apart from being a good fighter against certain skin conditions, this also helps with health complications such as joint pains or painful menstruation.
