Abstract
Bhaisajyārathnavali and Chakrādaththa elaborate about effectiveness of Vamāna karma (emesis) in the treatment of Amlāpitta. According to these Cikitsa sutra’s Vamāna Karma suitable for UdhāvagathaAmlāpitta and Virēchana karma (purgation) are suitable for AdhogathaAmlāpitta. This traditional method of Vamāna karma induces both Vamāna and Virēchana in same treatment because this method can use both Urdhāvagatha and AdhogāthaAmlāpitta conditions. The exceptional feature of this method is that it does not care about preoperative treatments and postoperative treatments. We already acknowledged that majority of the complications are present in Vamāna karma. But this traditional treatment method shows less complication. Compared to less complicatedvamana procedure in Ayurveda and Traditional medicine, the traditional Vamana procedure is better than Ayurveda Vamana procedure. Number of 445 patients were presented during one month in to the Vedamahatha’s( traditional doctor) dispensary.He recommended 8% for treatment included vamanaprocedure.Number of 12 patients suffered with Amlāpitta out of them. The exceptional point of this method was main medicinal ingredientLinderniapusilla. Other ingredients were Cow’s milk and King coconut water. In this method, a special Kashaya (decoction) with Murayakoenigii is given on the previous day of main treatment. Traditional physician worshiped Lord Buddha, Gambharadevi, Vishnu devi and Sooniyumdevi before starting the main karma.Vedamahatha(doctor of traditional medicine/traditional physician)) chants mantras to increase medicinal power of main ingredient and main medicinal liquid is filtered four times forward and three times backward. According to opinion of traditional physician, filtering forward induces Vamāna and backward induces Virēchana. Amlāpitta was predominant disease that recommended vamana procedure out of diseases. Others were Madumeha,Charmaroga,Swasa.The indications that Vedamahatha recommended were logicaly similar with Ayurveda concepts.
