<p style='text-align:justify;'>''Chhardi'' (vomiting), is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by bouts of vomiting, nausea, pain and black outs. The causative factors of ''chhardi'' can be categorized under dietary, lifestyle and psychological factors. Dietary factors include excessive ''upavasa'' (starvation), over intake of ''vidahi'' or ''snigdha-guru dravya'' (drugs which are very acrid, unctuous and heavy to digest), etc. Lifestyle aspects include excessive exercise, ''divasvapna'' (day sleep), etc. whereas the psychological stressors like excess worries, grief, anger, fear can precipitate it. ''Amashaya'' (stomach) and ''rasayani'' (channels) are the sites of origin of ''chhardi''. Vitiated [[dosha]] accumulate in ''amashaya'' and ''rasayani'' and are thrown out forcefully from the upper part of body causing ''pida'' (pain) to ''urdhva avayavas'' (organs situated above supraclavicular region). Comprehensive management includes avoidance of etiological factors with pharmacological treatment through medicament as well as non-pharmacological methods.
