Abstract:
Lepa (Alep) is considered a fundamental and primary treatment for inflammation. The human body receives drugs through two primary routes: the enteral (direct) route and the parenteral route, which includes absorption through the skin. Lepa Kalpana has been in existence since the Vedic period in Ayurveda and offers multiple therapeutic benefits in various conditions. It is indicated in conditions such as Aagantuja and Neej Shotha, Vrana Ropana, Tvak Prasadana, and Tvak Savarnikaran, among others. This article highlights the types of Lepa, their practical applications, usability according to Doshas, their mechanism of action and absorption, Guna (properties), rules of application, and Lepa Vidhi (procedure). Despite its extensive historical use, there are several lacunae in its clinical application due to a lack of research. This article aims to provide a literature review on Lepa Kalpana, its applications, and the absorption of essential oils through the skin. With the growing market for Ayurvedic cosmetics, people are increasingly accepting Ayurveda on a larger scale. Lepa Kalpana can be used both therapeutically and cosmetically. The objective is to raise awareness about the use of Lepa in general clinical practice.
