  #The impurities in lower part of body can be removed through rectum by ''Virechana'' (therapeutic purgation).

  # The thearapeutic emetic drugs shall possess qualities like ''ushna'' (hot), ''tikṣhṇa'' (sharply acting), ''sukshma'' (deeply  

      penetrating), ''vyavayi''(quality of spreading all over body before digested/quickly acting) and ''vikashi'' (quality of spreading all  

    over body before digested/quickly acting and displaces tissues from physiological sites).

  #In the process of therapeutic emesis, it is necessary for drug to reach the heart, circulate through vessels and effect the mass of  

      impurity in the entire body, liquefy it out through large and small ducts due to agni (factors responsible for digestion and  

      metabolism) nature and disjoin it due to sharpness.  

  #The impurities, thus dislocated from the micro-circulation by drugs, consequently the float (in circulation) and get propelled upside  

      by force of ''Udana'' (''Vayu'') towards mouth.  

  #Therapeutic emesis occurs by the natural composition of the drug with ''Agni'' and ''Vayu'' (''Mahabhutas'') and the specific potency  

      (for emesis).  

  #Therapeutic emesis occurs when the natural composition of the drug predominates in ''Jala'' and ''Prithvi mahabhuta'' and there is  

      specific potency (for purgation).  

  #Three types of habitat are ''Jangala''(arid), ''Anupa''(marshy) and ''Sadharana'' (medium). People with ''Vata'' and ''Pitta''  

      dominance are seen in 'Jangala'' habitat. People with ''Vata'' and ''Kapha'' dominance are seen in ''Anupa'' habitat.

  # The drugs are required to be collected keeping in view the appropriate habitat (''desha-sampat''), appropriate season (''kala sampat'')  

      and their effective attributes (''guna smapat''). The ''Vamana dravya'' (drug) possesses strong potency endowed due to  

      ''desha''(habitat),  ''kala''(time) ''guna'' (properties) and ''bhajana'' (container).

  # The proportion of active principle in useful parts of medicinal plant varies according to season. Hence, time of collection is  

    important while collecting the medicinal plant, in order to achieve its highest potency, safety and efficacy.

  # The timely grown, naturally matured, unaffected by environment and organisms are the best drug for collection.  

  # Effect of drugs vary, depending upon their habitat, collection, storage and on patients, ''deha'' (physique), ''Doshas'', ''prakriti''  

    (constitution), ''Vaya'' (age), ''Bala'' (strength), ''Agni'' (power of digestion and metabolism), ''Bhakti'' (liking of particular  

      type of recipe), 'Satmya'' (wholesomeness).
