In Ayurvedic treatment, more importance is given to Agni. Normal functioning of Agni depends on Pitta Dosha (Pachaka Pitta). Vitiated Pachaka Pitta is the important cause of Pittaja Agnidushti. Which have symptoms like decreased Abhyavaharana and Jaranasakti, Udaragaurava, Udarashula, Amlodgara, Aruchi, Praseka, Chhardi, Malavarodha etc. inter relation between Agni and Vayu Mahabhuta is well explained in classics. Aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of Chitraka vati as for the treatment of Pittaja Agnidushti (Pachaka Pittadushti) Patients having signs and symptoms of Pittaja Agnidushti attending O.P.D of Basic Principles department, IPGT&RA hospital, Jamnagar having the age between 20 - 55 years. Observations obtained during the study reveal, that main causative factors of Pittaja Agnidushti are responsible for augmentation of Drava and Ushna (hot) properties of Agni. In patients treated with Chitraka vati and highly significant results were seen all the cardinal symptoms of Pittaja Agnidushti, Udaragaurava (78.79%), Jaranasakti (70.96%), Abhyavaharana shakti (70%).
