Vaman Treatments
Vamana Therapy (Therapeutic Emesis)
Vamana is a specialized Ayurvedic cleansing procedure that involves controlled therapeutic vomiting to eliminate excess Kapha (mucus) from the body. Unlike spontaneous vomiting, Vamana follows a structured process that includes Snehapana (internal oleation), Snehana (external oleation), Swedana (sudation therapy), and finally, the Vamana procedure itself. Simply drinking salt water and inducing vomiting does not qualify as Vamana.
Why Vamana?
For individuals suffering from chronic respiratory issues such as frequent colds, sinus congestion, or asthma, Vamana helps clear excess Kapha from the sinuses and lungs. This process is also effective for detoxifying the digestive and respiratory systems.
Step-by-Step Process of Vamana
1. Pre-Vamana Preparation
- Internal Oleation (Snehapana): The patient consumes medicated ghee for 5 to 7 days, which is specially prepared based on individual needs. The typical dosage is 50 to 60 ml per day to help loosen toxins.
- External Oleation & Sudation (Snehana & Swedana): A combination of oil massage and steam therapy is administered, helping to draw accumulated toxins into the digestive tract for easy elimination.
- Special Diet: On the evening before the procedure, the patient consumes a specific diet to prepare the body for detoxification.
2. The Vamana Procedure
- The patient arrives on an empty stomach in the early morning.
- A specially prepared medicated decoction is given to induce vomiting.
- After consuming a Vamana-inducing paste, vomiting begins within 10 to 15 minutes.
- The expelled material primarily consists of Kapha and Pitta, clearing excess mucus and toxins.
3. Post-Vamana Care (Sansarjana Krama)
- Unlike natural vomiting, Vamana does not cause discomfort, headaches, or foul odor because the body eliminates only accumulated toxins.
- The patient does not experience extreme weakness and does not require IV fluids.
- Recovery is quick, and normal activities can be resumed soon, except on the day of the procedure.
- A gradual dietary regimen (Sansarjana Krama) is followed to restore digestive balance.
