What Ayurveda says about Chardi
In Ayurveda, vomiting is referred to as Chardi Roga, meaning ‘expulsion of gastric contents’. Whether vomiting is induced by excess food, alcohol, or some other cause, the Ayurvedic approach is to allow the process to run its course until the unwanted things are expelled. There are many causes of vomiting, including excessive salt, infection, and physical or mental exertion.
The Sanskrit word for chardi is related to the Prakrit word Chaddi, which means vomiting. It is also a synonym for Hritgraha. As a result, there are many different names for this ailment. It is important to consult with a health practitioner before using any medicine, though, as some medications may cause side effects.
In addition to the above causes, Chardi is associated with excess kapha and pitta in the stomach or when Vata is lower than kapha, and vice versa. The first two should be reduced to restore the balance in the stomach. In addition, vamana will expel vitiated kapha and pitta. Virechana helps the stomach recover and heal completely.
If you think Chardi is developed due to some food poison, then according to Ayurveda you must continue to vomit and expel the poisonous foreign bodies, while doing this one should have a check on body dehydration. Ayurveda also considers that indigested food particles later can become ama or toxic to the body. In such cases further medicine should not be given rather light food can be given. Once the digestive capacity is back medicines can be administered.

External treatments for Chardi
The first step in home remedies for Chardi is to understand what this condition is all about. Essentially, chardi is a vomiting disease caused by an imbalance in the doshas kapha, pachaka pitta, and samana vayu. The amashaya, which is located in the upper portion of the small intestine, is the seat of these doshas. Over time, this organ can become weak and learn to vomit.
Therapeutic Purgation is a key component of the treatment for chardi and should be administered even in the asymptomatic stage. Since chardi is associated with excess kapha and pitta in the stomach, it’s very important to expel any vitiated kapha or morbid pitta. Virechana and vamana are two essential ayurvedic remedies that help rebalance the stomach and remove any remaining toxins.
