Vamana

Literally speaking vamana is vomiting -why on earth would someone induce vomiting as treatment ? sounds crazy isn't it
Ayurveda works differently the name doesn't indicate the whole treatment ,the treatment involves lot of preparation ,the process takes seven days of preparation .special ghee diet is given with certain other restrictions.
Who can go for this
Persons suffering from kaphaja skin diseases ,asthma ,and for detoxification
Who cant go for this
Persons who are very weak ,who are dry ,who are not willing to go for this ,person not confident of this treatment
What is some ineligible undergoes the treatment
There are many side effects ,the mildest being headache severest being severe petrification of skin with bad smell.
The principle behind vamana is bringing the toxins to abdomen and eliminating it by vomiting on seventh day.
I personally have seen only 3 or 4 vamanas it becoming rarer these days only a handful of hospitals practice vamana ,i doubt anyone abroad practise vamana at all.The beauty of ayurveda is even with out a important treatment like many physicians are successfully treating many conditions.

Panchakarma

Vamana is one of the panchakarmas all those explained before are purvakarmas the actual panchakarmas are vamana ,virechana ,kashaya vasti ,matravasti and nasyam which i will introduce to you in my future briefing ,now all these things cannot be practised in commercial ayurveda (spa ayurveda ) because all these these involves greater attention from physician and therapists ,and medicines .As mentioned these treatments are very effective ,when done in many cases .

Janu vasti

I was busy with a project, free now i can blog as usual

Now coming to my topic ,it is one treatment which comes handy when treating cases with osteo arthritis ,when done in courses of 7 ,14 or 21 ,along with other treatments . The principle involved is very simple the gravity of the oil should cause the oil to penetrate into the joint ,when we speak ayurvedically its taila is best vata samana dravya and most of these conditions are due to increase of vata.
