Annalepa at Utpala Ayurdhama
Annalepa is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy that involves the application of medicated rice or herbal paste on the body. Derived from two words, ‘Anna’ meaning food or rice and ‘Lepa’ meaning coating or application, Annalepa is a soothing and nourishing external treatment that has been used for centuries to rejuvenate the skin, promote healing, and provide deep nourishment to the body.
At Utpala Ayurdhama, we offer Annalepa therapy as part of our holistic Ayurvedic treatment plans to help rejuvenate the skin and detoxify the body, making it an excellent therapy for both beauty and therapeutic purposes.
What is Annalepa?
Annalepa is an external body therapy that involves the application of a rice-based herbal paste on the body. The treatment is done using medicinal rice, herbs, and sometimes milk, depending on the patient’s condition. The paste is applied on the skin to rejuvenate and nourish the tissues, improve circulation, and enhance the complexion.
This Ayurvedic treatment is particularly beneficial for addressing various skin-related concerns, dryness, and inflammatory conditions. The herbal components in the Annalepa paste are absorbed by the skin, helping to improve the skin’s health and texture.
Procedure of Annalepa
- Preparation of the Herbal Paste: A herbal paste is prepared using specific medicinal rice or herbs, depending on the patient’s condition. Ingredients like rice, milk, herbal powders, and medicinal oils are combined to create a paste that nourishes and rejuvenates the skin.
- Application of the Paste: The paste is gently applied to the patient’s body in a thin layer. It is allowed to remain on the skin for a specific duration to allow the body to absorb the medicinal benefits. The cooling effect of the herbal paste helps in calming inflammation and relieving stress.
- Rest and Absorption: The patient is asked to rest while the herbal paste works on the skin. This period of rest allows for deep absorption of the herbs into the skin and underlying tissues.
- Rinse and Post-Care: After a designated time, the paste is gently washed off with warm water. Afterward, the skin is cleansed, and the patient is advised to take rest to ensure complete relaxation and restoration.
