        abstract = {Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by a cluster of interrelated conditions including central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and impaired glucose metabolism. The increasing prevalence of MetS due to sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy dietary habits, and psychological stress has become a major global health concern. Conventional management primarily focuses on lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy; however, long-term outcomes are often limited by poor compliance and adverse effects. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to the management of metabolic disorders by addressing their root causes. From an Ayurvedic perspective, Metabolic Syndrome can be correlated with Santarpanajanya Vyadhi, Sthoulya, and Medoroga, wherein Kapha-Meda Vriddhi, Agnimandya, Ama formation, and Srotorodha play pivotal roles in disease pathogenesis.Vamana Karma, one of the principal Panchakarma procedures, is regarded as the foremost therapeutic intervention for Kapha-dominant disorders. By eliminating vitiated Kapha and excessive Meda, Vamana Karma helps restore Agni, clear obstructed channels, and improve metabolic functions. Contemporary studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of Vamana Karma on body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, lipid profile, and insulin sensitivity. Additionally, it may contribute to the reduction of systemic inflammation and enhancement of overall metabolic homeostasis.
The present review aims to critically analyze the role of Vamana Karma in the management of Metabolic Syndrome through an integrative assessment of classical Ayurvedic concepts and available clinical evidence. The review highlights the potential of Vamana Karma as a safe, effective, and holistic metabolic corrective therapy capable of addressing both the manifestations and underlying pathology of Metabolic Syndrome.},
