Amlapitta is one of the major diseases caused by life style changes and its prevalence is increasing day by day. In modern science the disease is caused by irregular food habits, addiction of alcohol and tobacco, micro organisms like E-coli and certain idiopathic factors which leads to dyspepsia. Charaka and Kashyap have clearly indicated that, the Grahani dasha and Amlapitta occur in the persons who could check the temptation of food. Ajirna after encountering the specific doshas and affinity with specific site may cause various diseases. Anna visha produced due to ajirna when mixes with pittadi dosha, and lodges in amashya produces Amlapitta. In our granthas, acharya suggested shodhan as well as shamana chikitsa for Amlapitta. But as we said nidan pariwarjan is always the best line of treatment, here the study is concerned to study the details about disease Amlapitta and its management. As shodhan removes the vitiated doshas from the body from the roots but in Amlapitta a small amount of hetu sevan can relapse of the same lakshanas seen in Amlapitta, hence the study was concentrated on shaman chikitsa in Amlapitta by using Pipalli Churna mixed with Honey to check the efficacy of this medicine in Urdhwag Amlapitta and to assess any other associated benefits as well as side effects.
