Amlapitta is a disease caused by increase of Amla Guna of Pitta. Starch obtained from the rhizomes of two plants viz., Curcuma angustifolia Roxb. (Fam. Zingiberaceae) and Maranta arundinacea Linn. (Fam. Marantaceae) are used as Tugaksheeree. In the present clinical study, the efficacy of Tugaksheeree was studied on 67 patients of Amlapitta. A 0 total of 84 patients suffering from Amlapitta were selected from the O.P.D. and I.P.D. sections in the department of Dravyaguna, I.P.G.T. and R.A., Hospital, Jamnagar, and were randomly divided into two groups. Thirty four patients completed the treatment course in Group I, and 33 patients completed the treatment course in Group II. The efficacy of drug Tugaksheeree was studied through internal administration of the starches of C. angustifolia Roxb. (Fam. Zingiberaceae) in Group I and M. arundinacea Linn. (Fam. Marantaceae) in Group II with the dose of 4 g TID with water for 30 days. Both the drugs were found highly effective in treating Amlapitta. They significantly relieved the cardinal symptoms viz., Avipaka, Tikta-amlodgara, Daha, Shoola, Chhardi and the associated symptoms viz., Aruchi, Gaurava, Udaradhmana, Antrakujana, Vit bheda, Shiroruja, Angasada, and Trit. Statistically significant increase in body weight was noticed in both the groups. This may be because the drugs corrected the Agni and acted as Brihmana and Dhatupushtikara. Both the drugs did not produce any side effects. Therefore, both these drugs (C. angustifolia Roxb. and M. arundinacea Linn.) can be used as substitutes for each other.
胃酸过多是一种由胆汁质的酸性能量增加引起的疾病。从两种植物的根茎中提取的淀粉，即莪术（姜科）和竹芋（竹芋科）被用作图加克谢里（Tugaksheeree）。在本临床研究中，对67例胃酸过多患者进行了图加克谢里疗效的研究。从贾姆讷格尔印度草医学研究生与研究学院医院药草学系的门诊和住院部挑选了总共84例患有胃酸过多的患者，并随机分为两组。第一组34例患者完成了治疗疗程，第二组33例患者完成了治疗疗程。通过在第一组内服莪术（姜科）的淀粉，在第二组内服竹芋（竹芋科）的淀粉，剂量为每日三次，每次4克，用水冲服，持续30天，来研究图加克谢里药物的疗效。发现这两种药物在治疗胃酸过多方面都非常有效。它们显著缓解了主要症状，即消化不良、口苦、烧灼感、疼痛、呕吐，以及相关症状，即食欲不振、身体沉重、腹部胀满、腹部绞痛、味觉改变、头痛、身体虚弱、全身乏力和颤抖。两组患者的体重均有统计学意义的显著增加。这可能是因为药物纠正了胃火，起到了滋补和滋养组织的作用。两种药物均未产生任何副作用。因此，这两种药物（莪术和竹芋）可以相互替代使用。
