A Clinical Study of Vasadi Ghanvati in the Management of Amlapitta w.s.r. to Hyperacidity

Abstract

Amlapitta means a condition in which sourness of Pitta gets increased. “Amlapitta” is the disease of “Annavaha Srotas”. The Nidana Sevana creates Mandagni and due to Mandagni, Ajirna is developed which leads to Annavisha production. This Annavisha mixes with Pittadi Doshas then it produces the Amlapitta disease. According to modern view ‘Hyperacidity’ can be compared with Amlapitta. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of “vasadighanvati” in the management of Amlapitta. Total 30 patients of age group 16–60 years were registered. Assessment was done based on the relief in symptoms after 7 weeks of treatment, with a follow-up of 2 weeks. The data obtained in clinical study was analyzed by using “t” test. It was found that 6.66% had complete remission, 46.66% had marked improvement and 46.66% had moderate improvement. So, it can be concluded that drug is effective in Amlapitta without any side effect.
