<p style="text-align:justify;">The word vamana means the act of vomiting.<ref>Monier-Williams, Monier-Williams Sanskrit- English Dictionary, 1st edition; Oxford University Press, Vamana, Page 920</ref> It is one of the five purification therapies ([[panchakarma]]). It is the best preventive measure and treatment for disorders due to vitiation of [[kapha]] [[dosha]]. [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 25/40] The [[dosha]] accumulated in the upper part of the body (trunk and supraclavicular region) is evacuated by therapeutic emesis. [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 20/19][Cha.Sa.[[Kalpa Sthana]] 1/4] 'Vamana' is also a therapeutic procedure to expel vitiated [[dosha]] by administration of medicine to induce vomiting. On the other hand, 'Chhardi' is a disease with a predominant feature of vomiting due to various underlying pathologies. The present article deals with vamana, i.e., therapeutic emesis.
