Vaman (Ayurvedic Emesis Therapy) dislodges the toxins mainly from the respiratory & gastrointestinal tracts.
In Ayurveda ‘Vaman’ is one of the five therapies of Panchakarma. Vaman means therapeutic vomiting which is a medicated emesis. This treatment is done for the aggravated kapha dosha, which dislodges the toxins mainly from the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.
Vaman is done for preventive & curative purposes
This therapy is done for preventive & curative purposes. Ayurveda believes that different seasons have a great influence in the aggravation of doshas, Example: 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.e. Hemant season as a preventive therapy in order to prevent disorders related to kapha.
Purpose of Vamana Treatment
Vamana treatment is targeted to expel increased Kapha Dosha out of the body. When Kapha dosha increases, it causes certain types of diseases – such as cold, cough etc. If the extent of Kapha increase is less, then some oral medicines can be given to suppress it. But if it has increased to a large extent and if it has moved from its natural place to other places, then it needs to be expelled out of the body.
By expelling it out, the disease gets cured, often completely. Since Kapha is situated in the chest region, expelling it from the oral route is very easy. Hence, Vamana treatment is designed. To expel it out, first the Kapha Dosha needs to be forcefully brought from the extremities and different organs into the stomach, and then vomiting is induced.
Procedure of Vamana Treatment
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: Before inducing vamana, patient is asked to take kapha aggravating food such as yoghurt, sweets, basmati rice in the prior night. It is done with the intention of increasing the kapha so that it gets eliminated completely and forcefully from the system.
On the next day, a drink made of vomit inducing drugs – madanphala, licorice, and calamus root tea is given. 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 & lighter after some time.
Post Vamana Therapy
Patient should take rest completely and consume light food. Fasting is recommended after vaman therapy as the whole system goes under heavy work.
