This study investigates the physiological changes in blood pressure during Vaman Karma, a key procedure in Panchakarma therapy aimed at expelling vitiated Kapha dosha. Conducted as a clinical observational study with 30 healthy individuals (ages 20-40), the research monitored blood pressure at various stages of the Vamana process, including before and after Vaman Dravya Pana, after Hrullasa, during Vaman Vega, during Vegantaravastha, after Samyak Vaman, and after Dhoomapana. Findings revealed no significant changes in blood pressure before and after Vaman Dravya Pana, but significant variations were noted during Vaman Vega and Vegantaravastha. After Samyak Vaman and Dhoomapana, significant changes in systolic blood pressure were observed, while diastolic pressure remained stable. These results highlight the need for careful monitoring of blood pressure during Vamana to ensure patient safety and optimize therapeutic outcomes. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of these physiological changes.
