The elimination of vitiated dosha from the body
- Swedana (Sudation)
Swedana or Sudation Therapy is a prerequisite for Panchakarma. This process involves inducing sweat in the patient. Swedana gives relief from health problems like asthma and many other diseases caused by Vata disorders. .
- Vamana (Therapeutic emesis)
Vamana treatment is targeted to expel increased Kapha Dosha out of the body. Vamana is a procedure in which Doshas (waste products or toxins) are eliminated through upper channels i.e. mouth. Especially the Kapha and Pitta Dosha brought to Amashaya (stomach and duodenum) from all over the body by the specific preoperative procedures and then eliminated out by inducing the emesis. .
- Virechana (Therapeutic purgation)
Virechana is one of the Panchakarma therapies wherein purgation is induced by drugs and it specifically aims at the elimination of excessive Pitta Dosha from the body. It is the main treatment of Tamakshwas. But in children below ten years, Virechana cannot be subjected; hence Mridu shodhana (by the means of mild laxatives) should be done. In children aged above ten years, classical Virechana therapy along with Shaman Chikitsa helps reduce the frequency of episodes of asthma.
