Definition: Amlapitta is a disease caused by vitiation of Pitta becoming excessively Amla (sour), leading to GI symptoms. Charaka has described it in Chikitsa Sthana Ch. 15.

Nidana: Excessive intake of Amla, Katu, Lavana, Vidahi (irritant) food; irregular meals; Divasvapna; anxiety; suppression of natural urges.

Samprapti: Viruddha/Adhyashana → Agnidushti → Pitta prakopa → Pitta becomes Amla in guna → Amashaya (stomach) affected → Amlapitta.

Types:

Urdhvaga Amlapitta - Pitta moves upward; symptoms: Avipaka (indigestion), Klama (fatigue), Hritdaha (heartburn), Tiktamlaodgara (acid/bitter belching), Arochaka, Chardi (vomiting)
Adhoga Amlapitta - Pitta moves downward; symptoms: Daha (burning), Trishna (thirst), Murchha (fainting), Bhrama (dizziness), Dravamala (loose stools)

Chikitsa Sutra:

Urdhvaga - Vamana (emesis therapy) is primary

Jvara - all 8 types in depth (22 marks, 14x PYQ)
Amavata - full (18 marks, 12x PYQ)
Vatarakta + Kustha - full (24 marks, 10+11x)
Vatavyadhi group - Gridhrasi, Kampavata, Pakshaghata, GBS, Urustambha (24 marks, very high PYQ)
Tamaka Shvasa + Rajayakshma - full Pranavaha group (24 marks, 5+8x)

🟠 HIGH - Study second

Kamala/Hepatitis + Raktapitta (Rakta Pradoshaja, 24 marks)
Purishavaha - Atisara, Pravahika, Grahani, Arsha
Jalodara + Shotha (Udakavaha)
Sandhigata Vata/OA + Katishoola (Asthi-Majja, 14 marks)
Vajikarana (Paper III, 12 marks)
Manovaha Srota - Unmada, Apasmara, Vishada

🟡 MEDIUM - SAQ + MCQ level

Key Takeaway: The NCISM pattern removes the "optional question" safety net. Every LAQ is compulsory. Topics 3 (Jvara - 22 marks), 7 (Rakta pradoshaja - 24 marks), 11 (Vatavyadhi - 24 marks), and 13 (Pranavaha - 24 marks) carry the maximum marks and are all LAQ-eligible MK topics - these four alone account for ~90 marks across 3 papers.
