Abstract

VAMANA KARMA- UNDERSTANDING MODE OF ACTION

*Krishna Kant Pandey, Amit and Prof. A. K. Tripathi

ABSTRACT

Vamana is the first karma among five karma in the sequence of Panchkarma. It is a Apatarpana Chikitsā which is indicated in Bahu Doṣāvasthā (excessive vitiation of Doṣa) especially, in Kapha disorders. Vamana not only eliminates excessive Kapha but it removes Āmāśaya located excessive or Apakva (unripen) Pitta too. Vamana Karma acts by removal of Utkliṣta Doṣa brought into the Koṣṭha. Ācārya Caraka has described a beautiful mode of action of Vamana which occurs due to the Uṣṇa, tīkṣna, Sukṣma, Vyavāyī, Vikāsī properties of the Vamana Drugs. According to eustress theory, Vamana karma caused a state of hypo hydration which causes Eustress in the body which stimulates various controlling system of the body, thus normalizing the normal functions of the body. Other hypothesis suggests the removal of lipid soluble toxins due to hyperemia and increased permeability of the stomach mucosa due to Vamana.

Keywords: Vamana, Emesis, Mode of action, K?rmukt?.
