Clinical Assessment of Ayurvedic Herbal Interventions in the Management of Amlapitta (Chronic Gastritis)

Abstract

The Amlapitta, which is a general gastrointestinal disease as explained in Ayurveda is similar to the chronic gastritis as used in modern medicine. The symptoms common in it are mainly acid regurgitation, indigestion, nausea and burning in the epigastric area. The current study will seek to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Ayurvedic herbal interventions of Amlapitta through the selection of Ayurvedic herbs. Fifty patients diagnosed with Amlapitta were picked and subjected to the classical Ayurvedic preparations as well as dietary and lifestyle intervention. Standardized scoring tools were then used to achieve a pre-intervention evaluation of clinical parameters and a post-intervention evaluation of the same. The findings showed that there is a considerable decrease in the symptoms Amlodgara (acid belching), Urdhvaga Amlapitr and Hrit-Kantha Daha (heartburn). The researchers identify the possibility of Ayurvedic herbal use as safe and effective alternative treatment in management of chronic gastritis without any side effects
