In acute and emergency conditions, karmas included in Panchakarma become very important to achieve tatkal upashaya as they are employed to remove prakupit Doshas rapidly.

This article evaluates the role of Vamana, Virechan, Basti, Raktamokshana and Natsya karma in stabilizing patients during life-threatening crises such as acute poisoning, respiratory distress, and neurological collapse.
