Panchakarma is a five-fold therapy. It is a highly individualized procedure that is curated based on the needs of the individual depending on the Ayurvedic constitutional type, doshic imbalances, age, digestive strength, immune status, and many other factors.
Depending on each individual’s needs, all or only one of the five therapies are utilized. These procedures must be administered by specially trained therapists in a proper sequence for a specified period of time.
Although Panchakarma is, for the most part, a delightful and comfortable therapy, there can be periods of discomfort associated with the profound release of toxins which does occur. It is therefore essential that the therapy is supervised by a knowledgeable expert who can recognize the signs of properly and improperly administered Panchakarma. Fortunately, these signs were meticulously recorded by our ancient vaidyas (physicians).

Therapeutic Vomiting
This treatment is used when there is congestion in the lungs causing repeated attacks of bronchitis, cough, cold or asthma. The objective of the therapy is to induce vomiting to get rid of the mucus causing excess Kapha. On the morning of the vamana., Kapha aggravating foods such as basmati rice and yogurt with salt is given to further aggravate the Kapha. The application of the heat to the chest and back will help liquefy kapha. A drink consisting of madanaphalam, licorice and honey, is given to the patient. (Other substances used include salt and cardamom) Vomiting will either occur spontaneously or is induced by rubbing on the tongue. 4-8 vomiting is the target. After vomiting the patient will feel very comfortable; most of the congestion, wheezing and breathlessness will disappear along with the clearing of the sinus.
Therapeutic vomiting is used for a cough, cold, symptoms of asthma, fever, nausea, loss of appetite, anemia, poisoning, skin diseases, diabetes, lymphatic obstruction, chronic indigestion, edema (swelling), epilepsy (between attacks), chronic sinus problems and for repeated attacks of tonsillitis.
