Naturopathy uses natural elements such as mud pack, water, heat, sunlight, breath-control, dietetic and natural remedies such as herbs, fruits and foods to help the body heal itself. Digestive system is the main system for a healthy life, as health depends on proper food consumption and a proper digestion. But now-a-days, western life style and food habits lead to many acid peptic disorders (APD), one of them being Amlapitta. In this study, total 12 patients of Amlapitta were selected and divided randomly into two groups.

The A Assessment was done every week as per the criteria and finally, it was found that in both the groups statistically results were highly significant.After completion of therapy, it was found that in both groups patients were free from symptoms of Amlapitta without any adverse effects.
