Abstract

A case presented of chronic gastritis associated with Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) infection, which showed a resemblance with the clinical features of Amlapitta and Krimi Roga described in Ayurveda. The antibiotic therapy is encouraged as the first line of treatment. But it did not give satisfactory results due to the development of resistance to antibiotics with undesirable side effects. Later it was treated successfully with Shodhana procedures like Virechana Karma and Shaman Aushadhi. The symptoms are evaluated before and after treatment which showed marked improvement in the condition of patient.
