Amlapitta is one of the Annavahasroto vikara (gastrointestinal system) described in many classical Ayur-vedic texts. Modern luxurious lifestyle and sendentary habits of people have been inviting so many diseas-es like Prameha (Diabetis), Amavata (Arthritis), Amlapitta (Gastritis) etc. The cardinal features of Amlapit-ta includes utklesha (nausea), hritdaha (heartburn), kantadaha (throat burn), amlodgara (sour and bitter belching), chardi (vomiting), kukshidaha (abdominal burn) etc. The present study was taken up to evaluate efficacy of Kadali kanda churna and Kadali kanda kwatha in Urdwaga Amlapitta (Functional dyspepsia). A total of 20 patients having clinical features of Urdwaga Amlapitta were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups with 10 patients each. Group A was treated with Kadali kanda churna and Group B was treated with Kadali kanda kwatha. Subjective parameters were suitably graded to assess the results based on the clinical observations. Statistical tests were applied to analyze the results. In the present study it was observed that the percentage of success of Group A was 93.75% and that of Group B was 65%. Group A showed better results when compared to Group B.
