Purify, Balance, and Rejuvenate with Classical Ayurvedic Emesis
Vamana, or therapeutic emesis, is a cornerstone of Panchakarma—the ancient Ayurvedic detoxification system. At Sitaram Ayurveda Hospital, we offer authentic Vamana therapy designed to expel excess Kapha dosha, cleanse the upper gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, and restore doshic balance for holistic well-being.
What Is Vamana?
Vamana is a medically supervised procedure that induces controlled vomiting to eliminate accumulated toxins and excess Kapha from the body. This therapy is especially beneficial for conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, obesity, skin disorders, and digestive issues. It also addresses emotional imbalances due to chronic stress and unresolved trauma. A sense of sustained lightness in the head and chest regions is experienced consistently by patients undergoing the procedure in health or disease.
