Abstract

The classical texts explain various methods of conducting Vaman Karma procedures which is also associated with the description of various medications and their formulations for such procedures. However, as observed in some cases it is crucial to induce Vaman karma without Vamak yoga. The aim of this paper is to discuss this case by combining classical reasoning along with clinical experiences through a case study of Psoriatic arthritis complicated with joint deformities, aggressive skin lesions and weight loss. The case history is of a 21 years old male and is suffering from severe erythematic scaly plaques on skin all over the body with severe itching, pain, deformity and movement restrictions in joints of upper and lower limbs with weight loss since the last 4 years. Given the patient’s poor health, no Vamak yoga was administered during the procedure. The patient reported less pain and ease of joint movement beginning on the fourth day of Snehapana. At the end of Sansarjana krama, the PASI score was dropped to 6.8 from 50.8. Weight increased by 4kgs within 15 days of Sansarjan Krama.  The paper focuses on an elaborate discussion on clinical experience which although being an essentially important process is a lesser discussed subject of panchakarma procedure. The paper highlights the significant outcomes of Vaman Karma that has been carried out without Vamak yoga.
