Vaman

The Ayurvedic Therapy for Respiratory Disorders: Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis, and Allergies

Vaman therapy, also known as therapeutic emesis, is an essential part of the Panchakarma detoxification process in Ayurveda. It involves inducing controlled vomiting to eliminate toxins (Ama) and excess Kapha from the body. The therapy is meticulously performed under the supervision of an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner, ensuring the patient’s safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. Vaman therapy is typically recommended during the spring season when the Kapha dosha is naturally aggravated, but it can be administered at other times depending on the individual’s health condition.

Precautions to Be Taken Before, During, and After the Therapy

Before undergoing Vaman therapy, patients should follow a preparatory regimen that includes internal oleation (Snehana) and external fomentation (Swedana). It is essential to adhere to a light, Kapha-reducing diet. During the therapy, the patient must be under strict supervision to monitor the process and manage any complications. Post-therapy care involves a specific dietary regimen and rest to allow the body to regain strength and balance. Patients should avoid heavy, oily, and cold foods and should follow the practitioner’s advice on lifestyle and dietary changes to maintain the benefits of the therapy.
