Dhumapana is the inhalation of medicinal smoke
This is often done after both Nasya and Akshi Tarpana treatments. Smoke is inhaled through the nose and exhaled through the mouth
This treatment helps to remove excess Kapha. For the best effect and proper elimination of doshas it is repeated 3 times (3 inhalations and 3 exhalations/ version found in Arunodaya commentary by Govindan Vaidyar)
The Dhumavati is prepared with a number of Ayurvedic herbs specified for the needs of the client. Some herbs include Rasnadi, Guggulu, Dashamoola and more
