Lepana
Lepana is a classical Ayurvedic external therapy that involves the application of medicated herbal paste over specific areas of the body. This treatment is primarily recommended for localized pain, inflammation, and various skin disorders. The herbal formulation used for Lepana is carefully selected based on the patient’s condition.
In this therapy, freshly prepared herbal paste (Lepam) is applied directly to the affected region and kept for a prescribed duration. The medicinal properties of the herbs penetrate through the skin, helping to reduce swelling, relieve pain, improve circulation, and support tissue healing.
Classical Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita describe external herbal applications as effective in managing inflammatory conditions, skin diseases, and localized disorders by pacifying aggravated Doshas and eliminating toxins (Ama).
Lepana is commonly advised for conditions such as gout, arthritis, eczema, psoriasis, acne, pigmentation, minor injuries, and other inflammatory skin conditions. The treatment not only provides therapeutic relief but also enhances skin texture and vitality.
