Abstract

Modern life style has given rise to a lot of inevitable changes in our dietary patterns. Excessive consumption of salty, spicy, junk food and some analgesics weaken the immune system and make our body susceptible to infections. Duodenal ulcer is one of these diseases and a leading cause of morbidity, which affects approximately one person per thousand of general population. The clinical presentation of duodenal ulcer is similar to Parinama-shoola, mentioned in Ayurveda as acute epigastric pain during the intestinal phase of digestion.

Keywords: Parinama-shoola, duodenal ulcer, epigastric pain, polydipsia, hyperhydrosis etc.
