Abstract

The lifestyle-related illness amlapitta is prevalent all over the world. It is a disorder brought on by the environment, an erratic eating schedule, and psychological and physiological observations. Amlapitta is therefore the most prevalent illness in the modern era. The pace of life quickens as cities expand, as does the standard of living. Pitta that has become vitiated consumes unbalanced, rotting, and extremely sour meals and beverages, which can vitiate pitta and strengthen its drava and amla guna. While Madhavkara claimed that pitta is predominate in this situation, Aacharya Kashyapa claimed that Amlapitta involves three Doshas. Amlapitta is mentioned by Acharya Charaka as a symptom rather than a distinct illness. Intermittent loose stools followed by constipation is one of the Lakshana (symptoms) of amlapitta in Granhi. Every nidan panchak of this illness has been explained in different ways by different acharyas, however Amlapitta Samprapti is specifically mentioned in Grahani Chikitsa Adhyay while describing Grahani Dosha Samprapti. The fundamental tenets of therapy are shodhana, shamana chikitsa, and nidana parivarjana. It may also be related to hyperacidity, acid peptic disorders, and G.E.R.D.
