The Efficacy of Gopalu Guliya, a Sri Lankan Traditional Medicine with Special Anupana, in the Management of Amlapitta (Gastritis): Two Case Studies

Abstract

Amlapitta (gastritis) is a prevalent non-contagious ailment, attributed to dietary habits, stress, and consumption of spicy, oily foods. This case study aimed to explore the efficacy of Gopalu Guliya, a traditional Sri Lankan medicine, in managing Amlapitta. Two patients diagnosed with Amlapitta were treated with Gopalu Guliya (two pills) and a special Anupana, administered twice daily after meals for 30 days. Comprehensive assessments conducted across before and after the treatment. Revealed symptom reductions of 83% and 75% in the two cases, respectively. These findings highlight potential of Gopalu Guliya as an alternative therapy for Amlapitta. Further research, including controlled trials, is needed to validate its efficacy.
