Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Vamana (therapeutic vomiting) is the quite essential treatment for kapha. However, it is not used extensively in the West because both patients and ayurvedic practitioners are reluctant to embrace the practice. What are the alternatives for treating kapha, specifically cleansing the stomach? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 well alternately u can go on a fast with intake of foods like pappaya, etc which will not increase kapha. apart from that use a decoction made from Beheda [terminalia bellerica], arjuna [terminalia cuneata] and jyeshtamadha g. glabra] 2:2:1 proportion. morning evening you can do this for 7 days and at the end of it u can use a mild laxative like nishottar to cleanse. this effectively cleanse kapha and also pitta diet selection is important and must be done at specific times Sumit Ashok Kesarkar http://drsumit.in/ http://nlam.in/ ____________________ What are the alternatives for treating kapha, specifically cleansing the stomach?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 My suggestion is to take triphala and drink fennel and anise seed tea. Works great at cleansing the stomach, and clearing ama.
