Vaman Dhauti Kriya

Vaman Dhauti Kriya

Sthiti: Tadasana
Practice

● Drink about one and a half liters of lukewarm saline water (about 1% saline) as
quickly as you can until you feel like vomiting it out.

● Churn the stomach by twisting exercises.
● Now, spread the legs about two feet and bend the trunk forward forming an angle

of about 90 degrees to the ground.
● Now with the help of the middle three fingers of the right hand, tickle the back of

the throat to vomit out (vaman) all the water.

● Repeat the process of tickling the throat until no more water comes out, which
may mean that all water has been vomited.

● With continued practice one can stimulate the vomiting sensation and vomit out
the water without using the fingers to tickle the throat.

● Relax completely in DRT for about 15 to 20 minutes.
● Have a bland breakfast after about half an hour.

Note

● This is to be done early in the morning on an empty stomach.
● A bland breakfast could preferably consist of Indian kichadi (rice and lentil-dhal,

cooked with or without salt), along with a tea spoon full of pure ghee. Avoid
coffee or tea for breakfast.
● With long practice one can learn to vomit all the water as if it is a continuous jet.
This is called Gajakarani.

Suitable for:

● Diabetes Mellitus
● Hypertension and Heart Diseases
● Asthma
● Digestive Disorders
