Brief Summary  

ยท       

Amlapitta is the disease of Annavaha and Rasavaha Srotas  which is classified according to pravrutti into two categories; Urdhwaga and Adhoga Amlapitta . Amlapitta is one of the major diseases caused by lifestyle changes as its prevalence is increasing day by day.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is defined as retrograde flow of gastric contents into esophagus,  characterised by heartburn, acid regurgitation .

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is one of the most common chronic disorders of the gastro intestinal system. The incidence of GERD is high in general population, it is estimated to affect up to 20% of the population worldwide. (2019) 

The prevalence of GERD in India ranges from 7.6% to 30%, being < 10% in most population studies, and higher in cohort studies in 2019. The pooled prevalence of GERD in Indian population is 15.6% in 2021. 

K 21.9 is the ICD-10-CM code used for diagnosing Gastroesophageal reflux disease. 

      EB-04 is the National Ayurveda morbidity code for Amlapitta

Commonly used pharmacological contemporary medicines include Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, Lansoprazole which can cause adverse effects like headache, diarrhoea , Antacids like Calcium carbonate, Aluminium hydroxide cause adverse effects like constipation, abdominal pain. (11) H2 receptor blockers like Ranitidine, Famotidine cause adverse effects like constipation, fatigue, headache. 

Considering the prevalence, adverse effects and dependence on contemporary interventions, it is highly relevant to search for an effective formulation to manage Urdhwaga Amlapitta with special reference to Gastroesophageal reflux disease. Hence the study is opted.

Amrutadi Kwatha mentioned in Vangasena Samhita under the context of Amlapitta Adhikara  consists of Guduchi, Nagara, Musta, Kiratatikta. These ingredients are attributed with Tridosha hara, Deepana, Pachana property. Hence, considering the above background, it was thought worthy to evaluate the efficacy of oral administration of Amrutadi Kwatha in Urdhwaga Amlapitta with special reference to Gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Simhasyaadi Kwatha mentioned in Cakradatta under the context of Amlapitta Adhikara,  consists of Vasa, Guduchi, Brihati. Simhasyaadi Kwatha being a proven drug for Amlapitta, is taken as the control drug for the present study.
