VAMAN

vaman

Its medicated emesis therapy which removes kapha toxins collected in the body. vaman is one of the five therapies of panchakarma in ayurveda. This treatment is done for the aggravated kaphadosha, which dislodges the toxins mainly from the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract. This therapy is also done for preventive & curative purposes. Ayurveda believes that different seasons have a great influence in the aggravation of doshas, ex: kapha in hemant (spring season), pitta in sharada(winter)season and vata in greeshma(summers) season. Hence one can adopt vaman therapy in spring i.ehemant season as a preventive therapy in order to prevent disorders related to kapha.

Procedure

  • Vaman is induced in order to eliminate excess of mucus from the respiratory and gastro-intestinal tract that causes excess of the kapha.
  • Pre-therapy procedure: medicated ghruta is given for three days or more days as per condition of the patient and followed by sarvhgasnehan(full body massage) and swedana ,before inducing vamana, patient is asked to have kapha aggravating foods such as the yoghurts, sweets, basmati rice, the prior night. This is done with the intention of increasing the kapha so that it gets eliminated out completely and forcefully from the system.
  • On the next day, a drink is made out of vomiting inducing drugs- madanphala, licorice, calamus root tea.
  • This drink triggers vomiting in the patient, if it doesn’t take place then it is induced by rubbing the tongue.
  • In this manner the patient expels the whole kapha outside and feels better & light after some time.
  • Post therapy(paschant karma): patient should take rest completely and consume light food. Fasting is recommended after vaman therapy as the whole system goes under heavy work.
