In today’s era Amlapitta is a common disease found mostly in middle aged persons due to faulty dietary habits and changing lifestyle.

Due to increasing incidence of the disease, scholars of different medical field are working to developvarious means and measures to overcome this burning problem.In allopathic system of medicine Amlapitta cannot be correlated with any specific disease, but its symptoms are found in many disorders such as gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux disease and gastritis commonly named as acid peptic disorder. Acid peptic disorder results from an imbalance between aggressive factors (gastric acid, pepsin) and protective factors (gastric mucus, bicarbonate and prostaglandins). Antacids neutralize acid which is the first line of immunity and thus make the person more prone to various infections. While Ayurvedic approach is Agni vriddhi and Aampachana by various means.
