ABSTRACT

Amlapitta is one of the most frequent annavahasrotas (Gastrointestinal track problem) vyadhi (diseases) induced by vitiated Agni (appetite). Amlapitta is a Pitta Kapha Pradhana Tridoshaja Vyadhi (disease caused by multiple factors). In Amlapitta, Acharya Kashyap accepts the involvement of three Doshas. Amlapitta is not listed as a separate illness by Acharya Charka, but it is listed as one of the Lakshanas in Grahani (intermittent loose movements followed by constipation). Many diseases, according to Ayurveda, are caused by vitiated Agni (appetite). Various reasons and gradual changes in lifestyle, such as the adoption of more and newer food materials, junk meals, quick foods, changes in cooking methods, occupational risks, and so on,have accelerated the disease's progression. Along with those stimulating elements, worry and tension had exacerbated the illness, which included Amlapitta. This is a lifestyle disorder, and those who are hooked to cigarettes, alcohol, or high-salt packaged foods are at risk of contracting the condition. As far as current science is concerned, Amlapitta can be linked to hyperacidity. Hyperacidity is a condition that occurs when the stomach has an excessive quantity of hydrochloric acid. It is a gastrointestinal illness caused by aberrant gastric and pancreatic enzyme production. It's known as Acid Peptic Disorder (APD) in medical terms. It is known as Amlapitta in Ayurveda. It is a very prevalent condition that affects people all around the world. Keywords: Vasaghrita, Amlapitta, Aushadha, Hyperacidity
