Clear the Chest, Calm the Mind—Vamana’s Magic Unwinds!

Vamana is a classical Ayurveda detox procedure that involves the controlled removal of excess Kapha and deep-seated toxins through therapeutic vomiting. It is recommended for conditions like asthma, skin disorders, chronic allergies, and digestive issues. Conducted under expert supervision, Vamana helps restore balance, improve metabolism, and enhance overall well-being.

Vamana

Vamana is advised when Kapha is vitiated / other vitiated Doshas (Pitta / Vata) have come to seat of Kapha. Some of the health disorders which need Vamana are:

  • Respiratory problems like cough, asthma, sinus problems etc,
  • Digestive disorders like indigestion, Gastritis, IBS etc,
  • Diabetes,
  • Skin disorders like Psoriasis, Eczema, Fungal infections etc,
  • Psychological disorders like Insanity, Epilepsy etc,

Mode of action of Emetics (drugs) while inducing vamana

  • Emetic drugs are basically hot (Ushna) in potency. Also they are sharp (Teekshna) and have the ability to enter the minute channels in the body (Sookshma)

With the above said abilities

  • Due to Sookshma quality, the drug enters into minutest channels
  • Ushna / hot potency liquefies / melts Dosha (imbalanced elements) which behave like Toxins in the body
  • Teekshna / Sharp quality attacks toxins / Dosha and breaks it down to pieces.
  • Honey being an important ingredient of the medicine, the liquefied Dosha will be brought to stomach
  • Because of dominancy of Agni & Vayu Bhoota predominancy, Udana Vayu is stimulated and the Dosha are expelled through oral root
  • Based on the Dosha predominance, the emetics can be processed with different drugs.

Some of the investigations that might be necessary before the procedure:

  • Blood and Urine Sugar levels
  • Lipid Profile
  • Liver Functioning (LFT)
  • ECG and ECHO
  • Chest X-Ray
