Lepan therapy

Lepan therapy

Lepan therapy, also known as Lepanam, is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy involving the application of a medicated herbal paste to the affected area of the body. The paste (called lepam) is made by mixing herbal powders, fresh herb paste, or medicinal liquids with a medium like water, milk, honey, or fruit juices. 
Key aspects of Lepan therapy :-
  • Purpose: Primarily used to treat inflammatory conditions and various skin diseases. It is also known to relieve pain and swelling.
  • Application: The paste is applied as a pack to the affected body part or the entire body, depending on the condition being treated.
  • Benefits:
    • Relieves pain and inflammation: The herbs used in the paste possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
    • Promotes skin health: The herbs nourish and rejuvenate the skin, improving its tone, texture, and elasticity. It is used for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation.
    • Enhances blood circulation: The application and gentle massage (in some cases) stimulate blood circulation, aiding in healing.
    • Alleviates stress and promotes relaxation: The therapy has a calming effect due to the herbal paste and massage.
    • Assists in wound healing: The paste’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties can help with wound healing.
  • Procedure:
    1. A qualified Ayurvedic practitioner assesses the individual’s condition and chooses the appropriate herbs and ingredients.
    2. A paste is prepared by grinding the herbs and mixing them with a suitable medium.
    3. The paste is applied evenly to the affected area.
    4. It is left on for a specific duration, usually 20-30 minutes, or until it dries.
    5. The paste is then gently removed with warm water or a herbal decoction.
    6. Post-treatment care may involve cleansing the area and applying lotion or oil.
  • Customization: The herbs and the medium used to make the paste are selected according to the individual’s specific condition and Dosha (body type).
  • Types: Some examples of Lepan therapy types include Mahathikthaka Lepan (for inflammatory skin conditions), Narikela Lepan (cooling effect), and Suryamukhi Kaphi Lepan (exfoliating and calming).
Lepan therapy is a natural and holistic approach to managing pain, inflammation, and various skin disorders in Ayurveda. It is based on the principle that externally applied herbal pastes can effectively address these issues by promoting healing and balancing the body.
