वमन · Therapeutic emesis
Vamana
Vamana
Controlled herbal-induced cleansing of the stomach and chest channel — the definitive treatment for Kapha disorders like asthma, sinusitis and chronic skin disease.
Panchakarma Therapies
The classical five-fold purification of Ayurveda — performed in dedicated therapy theatres, exactly as the texts prescribe, by certified therapists.
The classical sequence
Three stages of a true Panchakarma
Panchakarma is not a spa massage — it is a medically supervised purification course in three deliberate stages. Skipping a stage is where most centres go wrong; we never do.
1
Purva Karma — preparation
Deepana–pachana (digestive kindling), snehapana (measured medicated ghee intake) and abhyanga–swedana (oleation and steam) to move toxins towards the channels.
2
Pradhana Karma — the five actions
The main elimination — Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya or Raktamokshana, chosen strictly per your dosha and condition.
3
Paschat Karma — restoration
Samsarjana krama — a graded diet and rasayana rejuvenation that rebuilds digestion and locks in the results.
7–21day typical courses
Shodhana — the five actions

Course details
How a Vedatma Panchakarma course runs
- Assessment first — prakriti, strength (bala), season and disease decide the karma and dose
- Fixed daily slot — same therapist, same time, 7–21 days, so the body settles into rhythm
- Doctor reviews daily — every session's response is recorded in your digital casepaper
- Samsarjana at the end — a written week-by-week diet ladder brings digestion fully back
Honest guidance
Who should not rush into Panchakarma
Recent surgery or weakness
The body needs strength (bala) to purify. We build first, cleanse later.
Pregnancy & certain conditions
Several karmas are contraindicated — we offer gentle alternatives instead.
Children & the elderly
Modified, milder courses with closer monitoring — never the full dose.
"Detox" tourists
If you don't need it, we will say so — and give you dinacharya instead.
Plan your Panchakarma properly
A short consultation decides your karma, duration and dates — courses are scheduled so therapy, diet and rest all align.
