Vamana Karma (process of emesis) is considered as Pradhana Karma (prime procedure) meant for inducing therapeutic vomiting, indicated for the purification of Urdhwa Bhaga (upper part) of the body. It is the process by which contents of stomach, including Kapha and Pitta are expelled out of the body through oral route. Acharya Charak and Sushruta have advocated various procedures for Vamana Karma known as classical methods, whereas some traditional methods are also being followed. As very little works has been carried out in the direction of Vamana Karma and as not a single work has been carried out on standardization of Vamana Vidhi comparing to both classical and traditional methods, the present study had been selected. The clinical trial was conducted in a randomized sample of 50 individuals (Both patients and volunteers) resolved into two sub-groups, viz. individuals in Group A was performed Vamana with classical methods and Group B with traditional methods. From the observations and results obtained in the present clinical study, it can be concluded that the method mentioned in classics is very much beneficial from every point of view in comparison to the traditional method. It is very easy, safest, less time-consuming and clinically as well as statistically most effective method without producing any type of complications.
催吐疗法（呕吐过程）被视为主要疗法（首要程序），用于引发治疗性呕吐，适用于净化身体上部。这是一个通过口腔途径将包括痰液和胆汁在内的胃内容物排出体外的过程。阇罗迦阿阇梨和妙闻阿阇梨倡导了各种催吐疗法程序，即经典方法，同时也遵循一些传统方法。由于在催吐疗法方面开展的工作很少，并且与经典方法和传统方法相比，尚未有关于催吐程序标准化的研究，因此选择了本研究。该临床试验在50名个体（包括患者和志愿者）的随机样本中进行，分为两个亚组，即A组个体采用经典方法进行催吐，B组采用传统方法。从本临床研究获得的观察结果和结论可以得出，与传统方法相比，经典中提到的方法从各个角度来看都非常有益。它非常简单、安全、耗时少，在临床和统计学上都是最有效的方法，且不会产生任何类型的并发症。
