Brief Summary   There is great demand of Ayurveda due to its unique concept about beauty and
effectiveness, cheaper and long lasting beauty therapy without any side effect. In Ayurveda we
find so many drugs which are said to have Varnya karma. Varnya karma is to have a modifying
effect on skin texture, it may include a positive effect on color, moisture, Luster, elasticity and
skin discoloration. According to Samhita and Nighantu Masoor and Chanak both are effective as varnya (improves
skin complexion). Lepa chikitsa helps in removing the Doshas locally and gives rise to natural skin
complexion. This lepan chikitsa is simple, effective and also convenient to patients
economically.
