Vamana

Vamana, or Therapeutic Emesis, is a time-honored Ayurvedic detoxification method designed to eliminate toxins and balance the body’s natural energies. By gently inducing emesis, this therapy helps expel excess Kapha dosha and deep-seated impurities from the system, supporting better respiratory health, improved digestion, and overall vitality. As one of the key steps in Panchakarma—the five-fold Ayurvedic purification process—Vamana plays a vital role in restoring internal balance and rejuvenation.

At Westwind Ayurveda, we conduct Vamana therapy with utmost care, following authentic Ayurvedic protocols under the guidance of experienced practitioners. Each treatment is customized to your body constitution and health needs, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. With a holistic approach and a healing environment, we provide you with a transformative detox experience that nurtures body, mind, and spirit.

Improved Skin Wellness: Aids in managing skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne through blood purification.
