Conceptual Study of Urdhvaga Amlapitta (Hyperacidity) and its Ayurvedic Management by Vasa Ghrita

Background: The three basic pillars which help in the understanding of disease symptoms and its management are called Trisutra. These have three components, Hetu as causative factors, Linga, as specific symptoms and Aushadha as drug and management of disease. Methods: The study was carried out at the Mahatma Gandhi Ayurved College Hospital and Research Centre, Salod, Wardha. A total of 60 patients of Urdhavag Amlapitta were registered for the present research work. Results: In this study, all the patients reported with imbalance of Tridosha. In this study, a significant time-dependent therapeutic response was reported, and after the treatment significant improvement was reported in the disease symptoms. Conclusion: After observing the symptoms before and after treatment we can say that Vasa Ghrita can be a much better remedy for Urdhvag Amlapitta (Hyperacidity).
