Emesis (VAMANA)

Vamana means vomiting for therapeutic reasons. The body releases those toxic acids in this manner. On an empty stomach, you will be instructed to consume ghee or gingelly oil. You'll probably throw up. In this manner, the body eliminates acidic materials and intestinal worms, resulting in your body. This treatment is mainly utilized for kapha imbalances and detoxification of the lungs and stomach.

Purgation (VIRECHANA)

During Virechana treatment, a patient is carefully guided through therapeutic purgation. Virechana treatment aims to remove the excess or imbalanced pitta dosha from the body. When Pitta dosha is balanced, it controls all digestive functions and metabolism. If pitta dosha becomes unbalanced, it leads to digestive issues, skin ailments, and liver and spleen disorders. In cases of mild pitta imbalance, medicines can help regulate it back to normal. If the vitiation is severe, the excess pitta needs to be expelled from the body. This is where the Virechana process proves useful.

Medicated enemas (BASTI)

Medicated oils or herbal mixtures are administered as rectal enemas in Basti Karma. It aids in eliminating toxins and restoring the body’s natural balance. The intestines readily absorb medicine when it is given through the anal route. It is recommended to have this procedure done either in the morning or evening for the best results. To undergo the procedure, the stomach needs to be empty. People with Vata dosha primarily benefit from the Basti procedure. Basti regulates Vata dosha, relieves constipation, and helps remove toxins from the colon.

Medicated nasal oils (NASYA)

Nasya is the term for applying medicinal oil via the nose. Nasya is a Panchakarma treatment where therapeutic oils are administered through the nose to detoxify the central nervous system. The practitioner modifies the oil according to the ailment that needs to be healed. To treat underlying issues, the therapy strengthens, clears, and cleanses the nasal passages. Nasya is a great treatment for migraines and headaches. It also helps to clear the sinuses and nasal passages to improve breathing. Conditions such as sinusitis, headache, migraine, and ear, nose, and throat infections can be treated with this therapy.

Toxic bloodletting (RAKTAMOKSHANA)

Raktamokshana is a therapy that effectively purifies the blood by carefully removing small amounts of blood to neutralize accumulated toxins. Ayurveda regards Rakta as equally significant as other doshas and emphasizes maintaining its balance and purification. The vitiation of doshas in the blood can lead to different diseases. Bloodletting, or Rakta mokshana, is a therapeutic process that detoxifies the blood by eliminating vitiated rakta and reducing blood toxicity.
