roga[1] parinam shula shoola, anna drava shoola[2] etc. Mandagni is the root of all gastric
disorder[3] Mandagni lead to vidagdha pitta( fermentation of digestive enzyme) which leads
to acidity and improper functioning of Kapha may enhance the inflammation and polyp
formation in gastric mucosa. It involves the deeper dhatu as mansa and meda, represent as

complain regarding to GIT.

Mode of action
In the first step we have tried to normalising Pitta which gave relief to the patient.

pathogenesis which responsible for formation polyp and nodules.

Third step we have tried the medicine Panna Pisti substitute of Heerak Bhasma indicated in
