Vamana is the therapeutic emesis therapy among the five core Panchakarma procedures, specifically assigned to eliminate excess Kapha dosha.
Kapha represents structure and fluids in the body. Imbalance leads to severe mucus congestion, chronic allergies, respiratory diseases, skin weeping, and metabolic slowdowns. Vamana expels sticky Kapha toxins from the chest and upper tract.
The Preparatory and Main Procedure (7 to 10 Days)
1. Snehapana (Internal Oleation)
The patient drinks warm, medicated herbal ghee (such as Indukantha or Mahatikitaka Ghrita) in progressive doses for 3 to 5 days to liquefy Kapha.
2. Abhyangam & Swedana
Full-body massage and herbal steam are administered to move liquefied toxins to the stomach.
3. Vamana Day
The patient is given a warm herbal decoction (Yashtimadhu/Licorice or milk) in large quantities to fill the stomach, followed by safe emetic herbs, systematically expelling the Kapha toxins.
4. Follow-up Diet (Samsarjana Krama)
A strict progressive diet (gruels, soups) is prescribed for 3 days to gently restore digestive fire.
