What is Vaman Therapy?
Vaman is one of the five core Panchakarma therapies in Ayurveda. It is a therapeutic emesis procedure — which means controlled, medicated vomiting — done under the supervision of a trained Ayurvedic physician. Though the term might sound uncomfortable, the therapy is safe, structured, and highly beneficial when done correctly.
Its primary goal is to remove excess Kapha dosha (the energy responsible for structure and lubrication) from the body. Vaman is recommended when Kapha accumulates and leads to conditions like chronic cough, sinusitis, allergies, asthma, skin diseases, or digestive issues.
Who Should Consider Vaman?
Vaman is especially effective for individuals suffering from:
- Recurrent colds, coughs, and respiratory infections
- Chronic sinusitis or nasal blockages
- Bronchial asthma (mild to moderate)
- Obesity or slow metabolism
- Psoriasis, eczema, acne, and other skin conditions
- Excessive sleepiness, nausea, or heaviness in the chest
- High cholesterol or Kapha-related digestive disturbances
It is not a general detox or weight-loss technique. Ayurvedic evaluation is necessary to determine if Vaman is suitable for your body constitution (Prakriti) and current health condition (Vikriti).

The Step-by-Step Process of Vaman
The Vaman treatment typically involves the following phases:
- Deepana-Pachana (Enhancing Digestion): For 2–3 days before Vaman, digestive medicines are given to stimulate the metabolic fire (Agni) and prepare the stomach for cleansing.
- Snehapana (Internal Oleation): The patient is given medicated ghee or oil for internal lubrication, which helps loosen toxins stuck in tissues.
- Abhyanga & Swedana (External Oleation & Steam): Full body massage and medicated steam therapy are done to mobilize toxins toward the stomach and chest region.
- Vaman Day: On the main day, the patient is given herbal decoctions to induce therapeutic vomiting in a controlled and safe manner, under medical supervision.
- Post-Treatment Recovery: Light, warm, and easy-to-digest food is prescribed. A special recovery diet called Samsarjana Krama is followed for a few days to gradually bring digestion back to normal.
The entire process usually spans 7–10 days, depending on individual response and the condition being treated.
Is Vaman Safe?
Yes, when done at a certified Panchakarma center like ours, Vaman is completely safe. Dr. Pushpa Jadhav conducts a thorough evaluation before recommending the therapy. All procedures are carried out in a controlled setting with proper hygiene, personalized monitoring, and post-treatment care.
Vaman is not done during pregnancy, menstruation, in young children, or for people with certain health conditions like ulcers, heart disorders, or severe weakness. A detailed consultation ensures that Vaman is appropriate and beneficial for you.
