Lekhana Karma, one of the therapeutic procedures under Shodhana in Ayurveda, is aimed at eliminating excess body fat, deranged Doshas, and accumulated waste products (Malas). The term "Lekhana" implies scraping, symbolizing the removal of pathological substances. This article explores the concept of Lekhana Karma, its mechanisms, indications, and the specific Dravyas and Shastras used. It also discusses the role of Lekhana in managing Dushta Vrana and its modern clinical relevance. A comprehensive literature review has been undertaken using classical Ayurvedic texts and modern scientific journals to understand the therapeutic efficacy and future scope of Lekhana Karma.
