<div style="text-align:justify;">
[[Upakalpaniya Adhyaya]] is a part of the ''Kalpana Chatushka'' tetrad and follows the chapters on pre-purification (''snehana'' (oleation) and ''swedana'' (sudation)) procedures. The sequence of chapters suggests that after completing the pre-purification procedures, the vitiated ''doshas'' come into ''koshtha'' (gut) and should be expelled out by suitable procedures like therapeutic emesis or therapeutic purgation. Guidelines for managing the purification therapies as well as for setting up a good [[Panchakarma]] hospital with all infrastructure and equipment required for patient care have been described in this chapter. The rationale for providing guidelines for setting up a hospital is that, should complications arise, prompt medical care could be provided to the patient. Special emphasis has been given to the need for planning of relevant equipment and medicines required for [[Panchakarma]] and any medical care it may necessitate. It is incredible to think that 3000 years back when there were hardly any indoor hospital facilities available in other parts of the world, there were thinkers and practitioners who could conceive of such a hospital management system as described in this text.

=== Guidelines for physicians before commencing treatment ===
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
A physician willing to administer various purification therapies, especially to a king, royalty or a wealthy person, should arrange various necessary drugs and equipments well in advance of the procedures and know correct administration of counter-acting drugs in case of complications. Because, in case of emergency, if complications occur, it is not possible to easily and immediately arrange drugs through sale or import. [3]

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Lord Atreya replied, “Oh Agnivesha!, it is possible for us to treat the patients successfully and also impart instructions for correct administration. But there is none who is able to grasp such instructions or having grasped it, is able to apply it or put it into practice. The variations in conditions of dosha, drugs, place, time, strength, body, diet, suitability, mind pattern, constitution, and age are subtle to understand. While considering these factors, when even a person with great intellect and pure knowledge gets confused, then what will be the condition of a person with less intellect? [5]

=== Dose of emetics ===
The dosage of the decoction of the fruit of ''madanaphala'' (Randia dumetorum Lam.) and also of all the other drugs used in purification therapy should be decided according to the needs of an individual. A dose that produces the desired effects of purification of the vitiated ''dosha'' and does not cause excess or inadequate purification is regarded as the ideal dose for the patient. [10]

=== Observation of patient after giving dose ===
<div style="text-align:justify;">
<div style="text-align:justify;">
After administration of the decoction, the patient should be observed for one muhurt (approximately 48 minutes). The first noticeable effect will be perspiration indicating liquification of dosha. Thereafter, the patient would exhibit horripilation showing movement of dosha from its own position. The third stage will produce distension of the abdomen indicative of the doshas having shifted to the gut. Nausea and salivation occur in the fourth stage, indicating the upward movement of dosha. At this stage, the patient should be asked to sit on a comfortable chair of knee height, which is well-covered with bed sheet and have towel, pillow and cushion at its side. Good friends, whose presence is not embarrassing to the patient, should attend him and support his head, press his navel, and massage his back in order to facilitate emesis. [11]

4.Vamana karma-
After proper purvakarma (or pre-purification activities), key purification procedures such as therapeutic emesis are administered to the patient, using substances such as madanaphala along with honey, rock salt, phanita (jaggery) and the powder of madhuka.
Benefits of vamana karma (therapeutic emesis): Vamana karma is a procedure indicated for the removal of toxins, especially kapha-pitta dosha situated in the upper part of gut. Vamana is done before virechana karma because if virechana is administered before vamana, the provoked kapha descends downwards to grahani [duodenum part and site of agni] and covers it, resulting in a feeling of heaviness and indigestion. The vamana procedure is initiated with a dose of decoction of madanphala mixed with honey, madhuka, rock salt and phanita. Madanphala is a widely used medicine for therapeutic emesis due to its potency. All other ingredients aid in the process of emesis and removal of toxins. Rock salt has the potential to carry drugs to microchannels and increase secretions to expel out toxins. [9-10]

It is necessary to clinically assess movement of dosha from shakha (peripheral tissues) to the koshtha (gut) to expel the vitiated dosha from the body. Symptoms and signs of each stage are as follows:
