Abstract

Panchakarma embodies Ayurveda's distinctive approach, comprising five procedures aimed at internally purifying the body through the nearest possible route. Vamana Karma is the first measure amongst Panchakarma, mainly indicated in the Kaphaja disorders. Vamana aims to expel excess and vitiated Kapha, thereby also assisting in balancing Pitta Dosha. As per Charaka Samhita, Vamana helps to cure Amashaygat Vikara by removing Utklishta Kapha & Pitta Dosha from Amashaya. When we give Langhan & Pachan Chikitsa, there is a possibility of Dosha getting vitiated again but Shodhana is such kind of treatment that helps to irradicate the disease from its root by expelling the Doshas out of the body. In this article we emphasized on Vaman Chikitsa in various conditions in the Vyadhi from Ashtang Hridaya Chikitsasthan by using different Vamak & Vamanopaga Dravayas.
