A CASE REPORT: EFFECT OF BHRINGARAJ CHURNA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF URDHVAGA AMLAPITTA WITH NIDANA PARIVARJANA AND PATHYA-APATHYA

Abstract

Background:
Urdhvaga Amlapitta, a common gastrointestinal disorder, is characterized by Amlodgara, Utklesha, Avipaka, Urodaha, and Chhardi. Owing to faulty lifestyle and dietary habits, its prevalence is rapidly increasing. Modern medicines give symptomatic relief but often cause dependency. Ayurveda offers holistic management through Nidana Parivarjana, Pathya-Apathya, and Pittashamaka dravyas like Bhringaraj.

Objective:
To evaluate the effect of Bhringaraj Churna in the management of Urdhvaga Amlapitta with Nidana Parivarjana and Pathya–Apathya.

Methodology:
A 34-year-old female patient diagnosed with Urdhvaga Amlapitta was treated with Bhringaraj Churna 3 g twice daily with lukewarm water before meals for 21 days, along with Pathya-Apathya and Nidana Parivarjana.

Result:
Significant improvement (>75%) was observed in major symptoms such as chest burning, flatulence, indigestion, and vomiting. No adverse effects were noted.

Conclusion:
Bhringaraj Churna acts by pacifying aggravated Pitta dosha and normalizing Agni, showing a marked role in Urdhvaga Amlapitta. Combined with Pathya–Apathya and Nidana Parivarjana, it offers a safe and effective management strategy.
