It causes emesis and the effect of the poison gets cleared. This is Hridaya Vis`hodhana . After achieving this condition, gold is administered as having Vishaghna property. Vamana – Emetic therapy ; if performed to its optimum quality expels out the aggravated Dosha, which are ready to go out. Such Dosha are called as Upasthita Dosha . It is also named as Utkles`ha .
