Vamana is one among the five therapies of panchakarma in Ayurveda. Vamana means therapeutic vomiting or medically induced emesis. This treatment is done for the increased kapha dosha. Vamana dislodges the toxins mainly from the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract. This therapy is done for preventive & curative purposes.

The procedure starts with internal and external oleation and foementation therapies for few days to liquify the toxins, followed by medications to induce emesis. This induces vomiting and eliminates toxins from the body. This is used to treat kapha-dominant conditions such as Obesity, Asthma, Hyperacidity and many skin related conditions
