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. pdf Published 2025-12-14 Issue Vol 9 No 4 (2025): October-December 2025 Section Case Reports This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
