Abstract

Vamana is a distinctive detoxification therapy among the Panchakarma treatments described in Ayurvedic texts, designed to eliminate abnormal Kapha dosha from the body through the oral route. The classical texts provide comprehensive guidance on indications, contraindications, procedural details, and the stages of Vamana karma, namely poorva (preparation), pradhana (main procedure), and paschat karma (post-treatment measures). They also detail the assessment of pravara (excellent), madhyama (moderate), and avara (poor) shuddhi (cleansing), potential complications, their management, and underscore the significance of Vamana karma. This article emphasizes a practical approach towards understanding the entire procedure by adapting methods suitable for patients in the present era, while upholding the fundamental principles of Vamana karma as outlined in the ancient texts.
