Abstract
mlapitta, a condition associated with the Annahava Srotas in Ayurveda, has become increasingly common in modern times due to unhealthy dietary habits and lifestyle choices. The term "Amlapitta" is derived from two components: "Amla" and "Pitta." Ayurvedic texts describe Amlapitta as a disorder characterized by an increase in both the quantity and sourness of vitiated Pitta. Acharya Chakrapani defines it as “Pitta endowed with the quality of sourness." In contemporary medical terminology, this condition can be compared to gastritis or acid peptic disease. In Ayurveda, Amlapitta is managed by balancing Pitta through therapies like Vamana (therapeutic vomiting) and Virechana (purgation). The primary symptoms of Amlapitta include Avipaka (indigestion), Klma (fatigue), Utklesha (nausea), Tikta-Amla Udgara (sour or bitter belching with burning sensation), and Aruchi (loss of appetite). In India, approximately 3 out of 869 individuals suffer from gastritis, which translates to around 12,25,614 people affected out of a total population of 1,06,50,70,607. Studies conducted in cities indicate that more than 50% of individuals are affected by gastritis by the age of 10, and this figure increases to over 80% by the age of 20. In Ayurveda, this condition is referred to as Amlapitta.Aims & Objectives : Aim of article to provide information about Amlapitta w.s.r. to Acid peptic Diseases.Materials & Methods : Ayurvedic Samhitas ,modern literature , journals , various websites , review articles have been analyzed for study .
