Amlapitta (Hyperacidity or Acid dyspepsia) is a common disorder affecting almost 45% people in our country. Amlapitta (Hyperacidity or Acid dyspepsia) is now a common disease due to changing lifestyle. It is a psycho-somatic disorder caused due to dietetic indiscrimination and mental stress and strain. It is a Pitta Pradhana disease of the Annavaha and Purishavaha Srotas (channels carrying food and faeces) caused due to Mandagni (reduced digestive ability) and Ama (undigested toxic material). It is a functional disorder rather than due to any organic lesion. Although, the awareness about the food items, their quality, quantity and nutritional values etc. is increasing in the society. But, at the same time popularity of fast food and packed food is also increasing due to changing life style. According to Ayurved also, faulty food habits are main ca use of Amlapitta. Ayurved states that alleviation of cause is the first line of treatment for every disease. So, emphasis is given to dietary habits.
