Vamana: Therapeutic Emesis

According to Ayurveda, it is a method applied for total biological purification of the body including gross and microchannels through active emesis.

Therapeutic emesis means to induce vomiting to expel doshas. It is a purification measure meant to remove accumulated waste products and vitiated doshas primarily Kapha through the upper Gastrointestinal tract.

Hence, the patient has to be appropriately prepared with snehana and senedana before subjecting him to the actual process of Vamana.
