Lepanam is an Ayurvedic treatment designed to relieve various inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, abscesses, osteoarthritis, edema, backaches, headaches, and skin diseases. This therapy involves applying a thick herbal paste to the affected areas of the body.
The paste is a blend of potent herbs, spices, leaf juices, and buttermilk. The warm herbal paste is gently spread over the afflicted areas and left to dry for about 45 minutes. This process generates mild heat, allowing the medicinal properties to penetrate deeply into the cells and address the inflammation and pain effectively.
