On this blissful moment of integration of our work, we bow our head in reverence to the almighty for giving us enough strength to complete this book.

Ayurveda aims in overall health of body, mind and soul. For attaining this health, and to treat the disease, the principles of chikitsa are based on two main aspects as Sanshodhan and Shamana. Panchakarma with its five modalities of treatment stands as chikitsa principles for almost all the diseases. Shamana chikitsa done after Shodhana gives better results.

Vamana Karma is the first among the panchakarma procedures which is mainly done in Kapha related disorders. The literature related to Vamana karma is found in many texts in various references .In this book a small effort is made to compile the material and place it accordingly.

The book is divided into specific topics covering all the aspects related to Vamana Karma in simple and precise manner. This will be helpful material for the U.G and P.G students in the context of Vamana and also as a practical guide .Detailed description of procedure ,for practical purpose is also embedded in the book.

This book also contain references of Vamana, in chikitsa aspect from Charaka and Sushruta. More than 100 titles of different thesis works done all over the country in different diseases has been incorporated as last chapter.
