Best Vamana Treatment in Bangalore at Utpala Ayurdhama
When an Ayurvedic doctor prescribes Vamana therapy, it involves the practice of controlled vomiting. This procedure is carefully planned and induced with the aim of cleansing the body, and it is done under expert supervision. Controlled vomiting occurs for a set period of time and is then methodically brought to a close.
What is Vamana in Ayurveda?
Vamana is one of the five therapies in the Panchakarma cleansing process of Ayurveda. It refers to therapeutic vomiting, conducted through medicated emesis to expel excess Kapha dosha and cleanse toxins from both the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems. Vamana therapy is utilized both for healing purposes and preventive care, designed to restore the body’s balance.
In Ayurveda, the seasons influence the doshas. For example, Kapha aggravates in the spring season (Vasanta), Pitta in autumn (Sharada), and Vata in winter (Hemanta). Undergoing Vamana treatment during the spring season is particularly effective as a preventive measure to address disorders associated with aggravated Kapha.
Who Should Undergo Vamana Therapy?
Vamana therapy at Utpala Ayurdhama is ideal for those suffering from:
- Fever, diarrhea, or Kapha imbalance in the lower abdomen
- Respiratory disorders like asthma, chronic bronchitis, cough, or cold
- Skin diseases with itching or burning, such as psoriasis or herpes
- Digestive issues such as indigestion, nausea, and pitta imbalance
- Obesity, heaviness in the body, anemia, fatigue, and general weakness
- Sleep disorders, Kapha-related issues affecting the ear, nose, eyes, or throat
People suffering from diabetes, thyroid disorders, fibroids, goitre, schizophrenia, or urinary tract infections can also benefit from this treatment.
Signs of Proper Vamana Treatment
A properly administered Vamana treatment includes the following indications:
- The vomiting urges are timely, with little discomfort or pain
- The Kapha is expelled in the right order and stops naturally
- No excess vomiting or side effects such as giddiness, weakness, or burning sensation
- The patient experiences a sense of lightness and clarity afterward
In cases of over-administration or improper execution, symptoms such as blood vomiting, dizziness, weakness, or severe burning may occur.
Vamana Ayurvedic Treatment Process at Utpala Ayurdhama
Pre-Therapy Preparation:
Before undergoing Vamana therapy, the patient is encouraged to consume Kapha-aggravating foods like sweets, yogurt, and rice the night before the procedure. The aim is to enhance Kapha in the system, making it easier to eliminate. A warm bath is then advised.
During the Vamana Therapy:
At Utpala Ayurdhama, the Vamana treatment involves the use of herbal drinks made from licorice, madanaphala, and calamus root. These trigger vomiting. If vomiting does not occur naturally, the patient’s throat is gently stimulated, and their stomach and back are massaged to encourage the expulsion of Kapha. The vomiting is done for a specific period, leaving the patient feeling cleansed and revitalized.
Post-Therapy Care:
After the treatment, the patient is advised to rest and eat light meals. Fasting may be recommended to allow the body to recover from the detoxification process.
Diet After Vamana Therapy
The post-treatment diet, known as ‘Samsarjana Krama,’ is essential for ensuring complete recovery. The patient starts with light, warm rice gruel (Manda) and gradually transitions to more solid food like porridge (Odana) and thin soup (Mudga Yusha). For the final phase, a thin meat broth (Mamsarasa) may be given. After this regimen, the patient can return to a normal, balanced diet.
