Abstract

In the current era of rapid urbanization and industrial growth, Amlapitta has emerged as one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal disorder. This condition, rooted in poor dietary choices and erratic lifestyle patterns, has become increasingly common due to indulgence in incompatible food combinations, irregular eating habits, and chronic stress. The modern mantra of "Hurry, Worry and Curry" aptly summarizes the primary contributors to this ailment. The contemporary, materialistic lifestyle compels individuals to prioritize productivity over health, often ignoring the importance of mindful eating and routine. Conventional pharmacological approaches such as H2 receptor blockers and proton pump inhibitors, though widely used, have witnessed a decline in preference due to their associated side effects and long-term dependency risks. So, this study shows an ayurvedic approach towards Amlapitta.
