Amlapitta (अम्लपित्त) refers to “acidity and biliousness” according to the fifth volume of the Rasajalanidhi (chapter 8). Accordingly, “the pitta or bile is sometimes putrefied by taking of food or drinks incongenial by combination, impure or dirty food, food classed as bidahi, and those items of food-stuff which naturally increase pitta (such as wine and other fermented materials, sours, pungents, mutton, etc.). This putrefaction of the bile gives rise to acidity and biliousness.—The following are the indications of amlapitta:—indigestion, fatigue, nausea, belching with bitter and sour taste, heaviness of the body, burning sensation in the heart and throat, and aversion to food”.
