Vamana (Therapeutic Emesis)

Overview

Vamana, or Therapeutic Emesis, is a traditional Ayurvedic detoxification technique offered at Westwind Ayurveda in Mysore. This procedure involves induced vomiting to expel toxins and excess Kapha dosha from the body. It is a critical part of Panchakarma, a five-pronged approach to detoxification and rejuvenation in Ayurveda. At Westwind Ayurveda, we adhere to authentic Ayurvedic practices, ensuring a safe and effective Vamana therapy experience.

Advantages of Vamana Therapy

1. Detoxification: Vamana helps in the expulsion of toxins accumulated in the upper gastro-intestinal tract, offering a deep detox for the body.
2. Respiratory Health: It is highly beneficial for respiratory issues such as asthma, bronchitis, and chronic allergies.
3. Skin Health: Helps in treating skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne by purifying the blood and reducing toxins.
4. Digestive Improvement: Enhances digestive fire (Agni), leading to better metabolism and digestion.
5. Mental Clarity: Promotes mental clarity and emotional balance by reducing the excess Kapha that can cause lethargy and depression.

Subtypes of Vamana Therapy

Classical Vamana

• This involves the use of herbal decoctions and medicinal preparations to induce vomiting, following traditional Ayurvedic protocols.

Ksheera Vamana
