Vijay Shankar Verma*, Sumitra, Nikita Rajpurohit, Amit Kumar Sharma and Sanjay Kumar
ABSTRACT
The medicament which is used for external application purpose is
known as Lepa. Acharya Sharangdhar in described about Lepa in
various types of skin disorder and no description of lepa kalpana in
modern science also, Lepa Kalpna can be co-related to the branch of
cosmetology. Here lepa kalpana is not only used in diseased condition
but also for attractive external appearance which was very trending
now a days because everyone wants to be beautiful. The herbal paste
which is applied on face to treat acne, pimples, scars, marks and
pigments are known as ‘Mukha Lepa’ (face pack) in Ayurveda.
Mukhalepa is a simple and effective skin care treatment in Ayurveda,
That’s why this approach has drawn my attention toward discussing
about various types of Lepa which was beneficial in not only for health purpose but also for
self-beautification having no side-effect.
Keywords: Lepa, Mukha Lepa, Skin disorders.
