Natural radiance, rejuvenated skin, and inner balance with time-tested Ayurvedic facial care

What is Mukhalepa?

Mukhalepa is an ancient Ayurvedic facial therapy involving the application of customized herbal pastes (lepa) to the face to cleanse, nourish, and rejuvenate the skin. Far more than a cosmetic procedure, Mukhalepa addresses the root causes of skin issues while promoting overall wellness through detoxification, improved circulation, and dosha balance.

At Sitaram Ayurveda Hospital, Mukhalepa is offered as a therapeutic and preventive treatment, prescribed by experienced Ayurvedic physicians and tailored to suit each individual’s skin type, constitution (Prakriti), and current imbalances (Vikriti).

How Mukhalepa Works

Mukhalepa begins with a gentle facial massage using herbal oils to improve circulation and open the pores. This is followed by the application of freshly prepared, medicated herbal pastes made from ingredients such as sandalwood, turmeric, manjishta, aloe vera, neem, and other skin-nourishing herbs.

The paste is allowed to remain on the face for a specific duration to allow maximum absorption of the therapeutic properties. It is then gently cleansed off, leaving the skin refreshed, toned, and revitalized.

This therapy:

• Removes accumulated toxins (Ama) from facial tissues
• Balances the Pitta and Vata doshas that often cause skin issues
• Stimulates lymphatic drainage and cellular regeneration
