  • Abstract:
  • Hyperacidity, known as Amlapitta in Ayurveda, is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder resulting from excessive gastric acid secretion. It manifests through symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, bloating, and abdominal discomfort. Although modern medications like antacids and proton pump inhibitors provide temporary relief, they often cause adverse effects and relapse after discontinuation. Ayurveda offers safe and holistic alternatives through herbal formulations that promote digestive balance. Among these, Avipattikar Churna stands out as one of the most effective traditional remedies for hyperacidity. It is a classical polyherbal formulation comprising Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica), Pippali (Piper longum), and Sunthi (Zingiber officinale), along with other supportive herbs. These ingredients act synergistically to neutralize excess gastric acid, enhance mucosal defense, and stimulate digestion. Pharmacological studies reveal that the formulation exhibits significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and gastroprotective activities. Thus, Avipattikar Churna represents a scientifically validated, safe, and effective herbal alternative for the management of hyperacidity.
