In 21st century, lifestyle is completely changed by all the means, our diet pattern, stress, behavioral patterns , etc. Nowadays younger generation are mostly attracted towards spicy, junk, processed food causing digestive problems which leads to Non ulcer Dyspepsia rather than consuming healthy, nutritious, nourishing food. The prevalence rate of Non-ulcer Dyspepsia in India is 30.4%. Modern Science recommends the treatment of proton pump inhibitors, H2blockers, antacids which have symptomatic relief, but is not reliable for long term and are liable to have many side effects like osteoporosis, bone fractures, Kidney disease, etc.

Non ulcer Dyspepsia describes symptoms such as discomfort, bloating and nausea, pain in the upper abdomen, vomiting which are thought to originate from upper gastrointestinal tract The symptoms of Amlapitta are similar to signs and symptoms of Non-ulcer Dyspepsia.

Ayurveda recommends Shaman Chikitsa (Internal treatment) as well as Shodhan Chikitsa (detoxification treatment) for the treatment of Amlapitta. Kiratadi Kwath mentioned in Ras Ratnakar (ayurvedic text) of Amlapitta Chikitsa Adhyay is Kaphagna, Pittashamaka, Deepan, Amapachan which breaks the Samprapti of Amlapitta and helps to relieve the symptoms. These contents are herbal, economical and easily available.
