Ayurvedic Weight loss Therapy- Udwarthanam- उव्दर्तनं कषायादि चूर्णैर्गात्रोध्दर्षणं (हेमाद्रि commentary on अष्टांग ह्रुदय संहिता सुत्र २।१५)
The act of rubbing चूर्ण (powders of any suitable drug) with some friction on the body is called as उव्दर्तन.

In this therapy massage is done with powders rather than oil. Ayurveda considers toxins to be the cause of obesity. Toxins slows down fat metabolism and therefore a person is unable to use his fat for metabolic activities. The fat accumulates under our skin and so obesity
Since toxins are lipid soluble they also accumulate in the fat cells leading to slow fat metabolism and undue weight gain. Udwarthanam involves violently massaging dry powders on the skin which causes toxins to come out of fat cells and then xthe therapy is followed by steam
which causes sweating and throwing the toxins out. So the fat metabolism improves and body heals itself by using the extra fat leading to weight loss. So even if you stop Udwarthanam treatments, the weight loss continues because now there are no toxins to hold back the fat
So which powders to be used- There are so many but I ll suggest the easily available ones so u can try on yourself. Mix ginger, garlic, Mustard, Turmeric, Trifla powder in equal quantity and rub the same on your body vigorously followed by steam/ hot shower.
For toxins who still do not find their way out through sweating, take hot jasmine tea after the bath so that they come out through urine.
