Neha Uniyal*, Dr. Kimmi Seth and Dr. Dhruv Mishra
ABSTRACT
Agnimandya leads to the utpatti of almost all vyadhis in the body particularly vyadhis of annavaha and rasvaha srotasa, as agni is prana and oja(immunity) depends upon prana (agni). Therefore, one should regulate and protect the agni by all means.

It causes formation of ama in body, the vitiated pitta due to ama formation leads to mandagni. Tryopstambha (ahara, nidra, bhramcharya) plays a major role in maintaining the swasthawastha of the body in both sharirika as well as mansika level, thus disturbed life style causes the vikriti of tryopstambha leading to agnimandya all these factors accomplished into amlapitta. In modern it involves a bundle of various Acid peptic disorders like dyspepsia, hyperacidity, GERD, acute and chronic gastritis which further leads to ulcers in later stages. The drugs used in the treatment regimen of the disease in modern are quiet helpful in reducing symptoms but arouses various other pathologies like GI mucosa lining degeneration due to vitamin c reduction, calcium deficiency in the body leading to osteoporosis. Thus here is my humble approach to explain the probable mode of action of avipattikar churna and kamdudha ras in the management of amlapitta. These shamana drugs plays a great role in breaking etiopathogenesis of amlapita.
