sanskrit

[Instructions to patient during procedure] Thereafter, the treating physician should instruct the patient to vomit without straining himself excessively by aiding his urge to vomit, by opening mouth, palate and throat widely, by slightly bending the neck and upper part of body forward, by provoking the urge that is not well apparent, by inserting well manicured two fingers, or stalks of blue lily, night lotus or while water lily (Nymphaea alba Linn.) in the throat. The patient should follow this advice. The physician should carefully observe the patient and episodes of the vomiting, keep a count of those events, and monitor the nature of the vomitus in the container to understand the proper functioning of medicine. The physician should then assess the character of vamana and decide its proper, inadequate or excessive nature. It is from this observation that the physician can determine the subsequent line of treatment.
