sanskrit

There are three types of medicinal plasters: Pralepa, Pradeha, and Alepana. Pralepa: This type of plaster is applied thin and can be either cold and non-absorptive or warm and absorptive. Pradeha: This type can be thick or thin, warm or cold, and acts as a non-absorptive agent. It is used for pacifying deranged Vayu (air) and Kapha (phlegm), aiding in union, purification, and healing, and alleviating pain and swelling. It is used in all types of swelling, whether ulcerated or not. Alepana: This type is intermediate between Pralepa and Pradeha. It is used for pacifying deranged blood and Pitta, and is specifically called Kalka or Niruddha-Alepana when applied over ulcers. Its functions include arresting hemorrhage, softening the ulcer, withdrawing putrified flesh, preventing pus formation, and correcting deranged humors to promote healing.
