contents <p><em><span>Shigrumooladi Lepa</span></em><span> is a classical Ayurvedic topical formulation used in the management of inflammatory conditions and anorectal disorders such as <em>Arsha (hemorrhoids)</em> and <em>Shotha (inflammation)</em>. As a modality of <em>Bahya Chikitsa</em> (external therapy), Lepa facilitates localized therapeutic action with minimal systemic absorption. The formulation predominantly includes Shigru (<em>Moringa oleifera</em>), characterized by <em>Ushna</em> (hot potency), <strong>Tikshna</strong> (penetrating), and <em>Kapha-Vata shamaka</em> properties, which contribute to the reduction of pain, swelling, and tissue congestion. This review aims to systematically examine the classical references, pharmacological attributes (Dravyaguna), and the probable mode of action of <em>Shigrumooladi Lepa</em> from an Ayurvedic standpoint, while also attempting correlation with contemporary pharmacological insights. The constituent drugs exhibit notable anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial activities, supporting their role in managing localized pathological conditions. The combined effect of these ingredients promotes Dosha pacification, enhances local circulation, and aids in the resolution of inflammation. <em>Shigrumooladi Lepa</em> therefore demonstrates considerable therapeutic potential in present-day practice; however, further experimental and clinical evaluation is warranted to establish its efficacy on scientific grounds.</span></p>
