Vamana: Ayurvedic Detoxification Therapy

Vamana: Ayurvedic Detoxification Therapy

Vamana, or therapeutic vomiting, is a powerful Ayurvedic procedure used to eliminate excess Kapha dosha from the body. Kapha is associated with earth and water elements, and its imbalance can lead to various health issues, particularly those affecting the respiratory and digestive systems.

The Vamana Process:

  1. Preparation: The patient undergoes a preparatory phase involving Snehana (oleation) and Swedana (sudation) to soften tissues and facilitate Kapha elimination.
  2. Medicated Ghee: The patient consumes medicated ghee for several days to lubricate the digestive tract and prepare the body for Vamana.
  3. Vamana Induction: Specific medicines are administered based on the individual's dosha constitution to induce vomiting. This helps expel Kapha from the body.
  4. Post-Procedure Care: A specialised diet is followed to maintain doshic balance and support recovery.
