Classical Ayurvedic Facial Prasādhan Therapy
Mukh Lepanam is a classical Ayurvedic Prasādhan Chikitsa focused on nourishing, clarifying and rejuvenating the facial skin.
This treatment does not use chemical-based cosmetic products — instead, it involves an application of medicated herbal pastes that penetrate deeper cutaneous layers, improve skin metabolism, and support Twak Dhatu health.
This therapy is particularly indicated for pigmentation, dullness, tanning, mild inflammatory acne tendency, and uneven skin glow due to Vata-Pitta aggravation + external environmental damage.
AYURVEDIC VIEW / HOW IT WORKS
According to Ayurveda, the face reflects the condition of Rakta & Mamsa Dhatu and its luminosity depends on the proper functioning of Bhrajaka Pitta, the subtype of Pitta located in skin layers.
Due to sun exposure, stress, nutrition imbalance, pollution dust, product misuse etc, Bhrajaka Pitta becomes disturbed → resulting in:
- Patchy tone
- Dullness
- Roughness
- Premature ageing signs
Abhyangam = Sarvanga Snehanam, full body oleation using medicated oils that penetrate Srotas, nourish tissues & pacify Vata.
Svedanam = controlled steam therapy (Srotoshodhana + Ama Pachana) to liquify accumulated toxins & aid their exit.
