IMPORTANCE OF VAMANA CHIKITSA IN PANCHAKARMA

Dr. Kirti Tomar*

Abstract

Vamana is the first among Panchakarmas which is used as Shodhana Chikitsa in which Kapha pradhana Utklishta Doshas are expelled out through oral route. Ayurvedic classics have described the details about scientific approach of Vamana Karma. The only drawback of this therapy can be mentioned as it is a very time consuming procedure which is quite difficult every time for every Rugna. Some conditions also arise where implementation of Vamana in scientific manner is not possible as the situation demands for quick elimination of Doshas. Sadyovamana helps in quick and instant relief of complaints of patient. This concept of Sadyovamana can be used as an emergency management of Atyayika Avasthas depending upon the Utklishta Doshas. Vamana Karma is especially used in Kaphaj disorders. This theory is preventive, preservative, promotive, curative and rehabilitative. Kapha dosha accumulate and aggravate Hemant Ritu (winter season) and Vasant Ritu (spring season) respectively.
