Vamak Dravya- Emetic Drugs

      Madan phala (Randia dumetorum)-3 Gm + Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra)-2 Gm +Vacha (Achorus calamos)-1 Gm + Honey- 20 ml + Rock salt- 2 to 3 gm

Pharmacodynamics & Pharmacokinetics of Vaman Drugs:-

                           Ushma (Hotness) -- With this quality, vaman dravyas liquefy the doshas.

      Tikshna (Sharpness) -- With this quality, sticky doshas are separated from strotasas.

      Sukshma (Minuteness) -- Because of this quality, medicines can reach up to minute channels (strotasas) in the body and perform their function.

      Vyavayi- Easily distributing -- Because of this quality, medicines don’t need to go through the first pass metabolism. Its action starts right from its entrance in the body. Hence vaman drugs act rapidly

      Vikasi -- This quality helps to spread the medicine and destruct binding between the particles of impure doshas.
These medicines have agni (fire) and vayu (air) mahabhutas predominance.

But not all the plants or substances with these qualities can cause induced vomiting. Induction of vomiting is the characteristic of these plants or substances.
