(अथाम्लपित्तचिकित्सा) धात्रीनिम्बफलं तद्वद्गोमूत्रेण च चित्रकम् / वासामृतापर्पटिकानिम्बभूनिम्बमार्करैः (वैः) / त्रिफलाकुलत्थैः क्वाथः सक्षौद्रश्चाम्लपित्तहा
(athāmlapittacikitsā) dhātrīnimbaphalaṃ tadvadgomūtreṇa ca citrakam / vāsāmṛtāparpaṭikānimbabhūnimbamārkaraiḥ (vaiḥ) / triphalākulatthaiḥ kvāthaḥ sakṣaudraścāmlapittahā
હવે આમ્લપિત્તની સારવાર: ધાત્રી (આમળા) અને લીમડાનું ફળ લો; તેમજ ગોમૂત્ર સાથે ચિત્રક સિદ્ધ કરો. વાસા, અમૃતા (ગુડૂચી), પરપટિકા, લીમડો, ભૂનીમ્બ, માર્કર, સાથે ત્રિફલા અને કુલત્થ—આ બધાનો ક્વાથ બનાવી મધ સાથે લેવાથી આમ્લપિત્ત નાશ પામે છે.
Lord Vishnu (teaching Garuda)

Related Themes: Garuda Purana 1.171 (āmlapitta-cikitsā heading and adjacent digestive/skin remedies)
This verse preserves a practical Ayurvedic protocol within the Purana, showing how dharma-texts also transmit health regimens for balancing pitta and digestive disorders.
It does not discuss afterlife themes here; instead, it focuses on bodily well-being through herbal formulations, reflecting the Purana’s broader scope beyond preta-related topics.
It highlights classical bitter herbs, decoctions, and honey as a traditional approach to acidity—best approached today only under qualified Ayurvedic guidance.
