Lepanam – Herbal Paste Application
Ayurveda
At Arujiva Ayurveda & Naturopathy Wellness Centre, Lepanam is a traditional Ayurvedic external therapy used to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and soothe skin and musculoskeletal conditions. This treatment involves applying freshly prepared herbal pastes, made from medicated powders, leaves, oils, and decoctions, directly over the affected area.
Lepanam works by drawing out toxins, reducing heat, and calming aggravated doshas—especially Pitta and Vata—making it an effective natural remedy for both chronic and acute conditions.
