How Ekanga Lepam Works?

Ekangam Lepam is designed to relieve localized pain, inflammation, and muscle tension.  A therapeutic herbal paste or lepam, made from a combination of medicinal herbs, oils, and powders,  is applied to a specific area of the body where pain or discomfort is present. The active compounds in the herbs help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and provide deep muscle relaxation, making it an ideal treatment for musculoskeletal conditions. 

Ekanga Lepam Procedure

Preparation: The patient is asked to lie down in a comfortable position, with the affected area exposed and cleaned to ensure better absorption of the herbal paste. 

Application of Herbal Paste: The  specially formulated paste made from natural herbs, oils, and powders is applied directly to the affected area. The ingredients are chosen based on the patient’s condition and the type of pain being treated. 

Resting Period: The paste is allowed to sit for a specific period (usually 20-30 minutes), allowing it to  deeply penetrate the skin and muscles to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. 

Post-treatment Care: After the paste is removed, a gentle massage may be applied to enhance circulation. The treated area may also be wrapped or covered to retain warmth and the therapeutic effects.

Real stories of rejuvenation, wellness and lasting health through ayurveda

Ram prasath
I’ve been seeing doctors for the past 10 years, dealing with everything from a simple cold to more serious stuff like shoulder tendonitis, which required an injection. Wanting to avoid ongoing treatments, I turned to Ayurveda. Since then, my shoulders are back to feeling as good as new. Later on, I also got treated for ulcerative colitis and it’s all gone now. It’s amazing—every issue I’ve had has been fixed without any long-term problems.

I took treatment in this Hospital for knee pain and blood circulation in left foot from 5th Sept to 16th Sept 2024. I took a consultation with Dr. Sri Krishna, a Competent, Calm, and Cool person. Above all 6th Generation doctor of this ancient hospital! There is a say that, when you meet your doctor, half of your ailments will disappear, actually it happened with me! He advised me to take 10 days of external treatment like Abhyanga, Janu Basti.. along with oral medicines...

I met Dr.Sampoorna who helped me with the treatment for my vericose veins. I underwent 14 days treatment in Shree Ayurvedic hospital. The 5 girls who helped me with the treatment were really kind and helpful. Even the staffs were really kind. I can see a good improvement in the condition after getting the treatment. Hope it gets even more better in the future.

When it comes to ayurveda in Chennai, Shree Ayurvedic hospital has all ayurvedic facilities under one roof. Good response and care from hospital staffs. I consulted Dr. Uday Kiran in this hospital for urological issues. He is a humble person, with experience in ayurvedic surgeries. He is one of the very few Ayurvedic surgeons in Chennai treating ano-rectal and Urological issues. He listens patiently and is ready to answer all our questions. Even if we ask any questions over phone Or whatsApp, he will answer. Many thanks to him.
