How Vamana (vomiting) Helps in Pacifying the Kapha Dosha in the Body?
Vamana is an ayurvedic treatment that induces vomiting. It is a part of panchakarma therapy and useful for preventing and curing diseases that affect people. The vomiting induced by it removes harmful toxins from the respiratory system. It is also beneficial for toxin elimination from the gastrointestinal tract in the digestive system. Vamana is a type of bio cleansing procedure that cleans and cleanses the body of harmful substances. It is medical vomiting that improves the health.
The principals of Ayurveda state that doshas become worse in certain seasons leading to severe health problems during this time. The kapha dosha becomes active in the spring season, which is also known as the hemant season. The pitta dosha is mainly seen during the winters or the Sharada season. The summers or greeshma season witnesses the aggravation of the vata dosha.
As per the above theory of aggravation of doshas in various seasons, the best time to do the Vamana treatment is during the hemant when there is spring season. This is the time when the kapha dosha appears and doing the vamana therapy helps in preventing health problems and diseases that occur due to kapha dosha.
