Technique of lepa application
 It should be gently rubbed in an upward/ pratiloma /reverse direction.
 So that the action of the application quick and effective.
 Because application enters in to romakupa and further get absorbed
through swedavahi srothas and sira mukha, then produces good
results.
Time of lepa application
 Pralepa Should not be applied at night nor it should be allowed
to stay on after it dried up.
 Where as pradehas can be allowed to stay even after drying, in
order to cause constriction / pressure over the part of the
body.
Important
 The heat of the body comes out through the skin pores at
nights normally.
 If medicinal applications are done at nights the skin pores get
blocked and obstruct the transfer of body heat.
 So lepa should not be done at nights.
Preservation of lepa
If preserve in air tight containers…..
 Vegetable lepa churna will preserve their potency for
30 days,
 Mineral and metallic preparations last indefinitely.
General rules for application
 Always lepa should be applied in the opposite direction of the hair follicles.
 Should not be left after drying, it must be removed as soon as they are dries up.
 As the lepa are wet, it helps to skin where, as soon as they are dried they lose
their potency and irritate the skin.
 Lepa should be prepared freshly and use.
 They should be used only once.
 Over the previous lepa fresh once should not be applied.
 It should not be applied at night, if applied it causes skin
diseases by suppressing local temperature.
 Do not cover the lepa with cloth because it causes retention of sweat
which in turn leads to pidaka, Kandu, etc; complications.
 Lepa should not be too snigdha nor ruksha,
 Neither solid nor liquid, i.e.; it should be of medium consistency.
 Thickness of Alepa should be like that of wet skin of the Buffalo or 1/3ed of angula.

either the form of lepa, i.e.;
 Further the Thiryag dhamani spread through out the skin like mesh.
 From these the Roma kupa originate through this path way the sweat
moves out and at the same time Rasa dhatu reaches the Roma kupa to
nourish them.
 In similar way the active principle of medicaments to the skin in the form
of Abhyanga, Parisheka, Avagaha, lepa, etc; is absorbed after undergoing
paka by Bhrajaka Pitha.
