Abstract

In Ayurveda, the concepts of "Trupti" (satisfaction) and "Tarpana" (nourishment) are vital in understanding Amapradoshaja Vyadhis (diseases caused by Ama), categorized as Santarpana Janya Vyadhis (disorders due to over-nourishment). The formulation of Truptighna Mahakashaya Gana Kashaya is crucial for managing Ama, functioning as a Hetvartakari Aushada that targets root causes. Amapachana, the recommended treatment for Ama, employs herbs with Katu (pungent) and Tikta (bitter) Rasa, and Ushna Virya (hot potency) to enhance digestion and stimulate appetite. Clinical studies reveal significant improvements in symptoms such as loss of appetite, indigestion, and abdominal heaviness after treatment with Truptighna Mahakashaya Gana Kashaya. This approach addresses symptoms and underlying imbalances, reinforcing the relevance of Ayurvedic principles in contemporary health challenges.

Keywords: Trupti, Ama, Truptighna, Amapachana.
