Amlapitta is a very common disease which can be correlated with Acid peptic disorder (APD) in modern parlance. In Ayurveda the main cause of Amlapitta is due to Agnimandya (Indigestion), different dietetic habits like Adhyashan (Intake of food before digestion), Vishmashana (Irregular food intake) and spiced oily food etc. and the psychic factors like Chinta (anxiety) Udveg (Stress), Krodha (Anger) etc. In modern the causative factors are mainly hurry, worry and curry adding new sherry (Alcohol) and mechanical lifestyle with unsuitable food habits. The disease became chronic due to negligence and western life style adopting in diet and routine activity which is nonconductive regimen in our Indian climate. In this study 80 patients of Amlapitta were selected and divided into two groups. In group-A (Treated group) 50 patients were treated with Ayurveda formulation tablet Madhu Amalaki Rasayan (MAR) 250 mg two times a day before meal. In group-B (Control group) 30 patients were treated with modern medicine i.e. tablet famotidine-20 mg two times a day before meal. The treatment was continued for consecutive 30 days in both groups and patients were followed up for further two months by every fortnight. Lastly study concluded that tablet Madhu Amalaki Rasayan (MAR) is better as a remedial measure for Amlapitta having good palatability without any adverse effect.
