A comparative clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of khandkushmandak avleha and syrup patoladi on amlapitta in children

A drastic change in mankind has taken place mostly due to urbanization and industrialization. To cope-up with the speed of the modern era, one has to adopt junk food preparations, over-work and stressful duty schedule. Vitiation of Agni due to various causes leads to Amlapitta. Some of the common causes are - fasting, eating between meals, worry, hurry, spicy foods etc. These factors affect the Pachakapitta (digestive enzymes etc.) and as a result Pachakapitta vitiates. Thus the developed condition is called Amlapitta. A comparative clinical study was adopted in the clinical trial. 40 patients fulfilling the diagnostic and inclusion criteria were selected and randomly assigned into two groups i.e. group I and II. Without any dropout, the children in group I was treated with Khandkushmandaka Avleha and the children in group II were treated with Syrup Patoladi for 30 days. Result obtained after the clinical trial was analysed statistically and all the observation were subjected to creative discussion.
