Dr. Karishma Anwar*, Dr. Kiran M. Goud and Dr. Shreyas D. M.
ABSTRACT
Vamana Karma is a significant therapeutic procedure in Ayurveda, classified under Panchakarma chikitsa. It is a Purificatory therapy designed especially to cure the Kapha pradhana Dosha Vyadhi[1] and thereby helps in restoring the balance of Tridoshas. The procedure involves Poorvakarma[2] (Preparatory measures) such as Rookshana (Drying therapy), Deepana and Pachana, Snehana (Oleation therapy), Swedana (Sudation therapy), followed by the administration of emetic herbs after assessing Desha, Bala, Kala, Vaya[3] and certain other factors to induce a controlled vomiting. The concept of deeply embedded toxins (Ama) are primarily aimed to expel out from the sharira. The concept of Ama[4] is akin to endotoxins in modern science. Endotoxins are toxic substances that originate within the body often due to factors like Ajeerna(Indigestion), Metabolic dysfuction or any microbial activity. These toxins accumulate overtime and lead to various chronic and systemic disorders.
