The prevalence of digestive problems in older people and its link to hospitalization and death in older people living in the community are both poorly understood. The primary sign of ageing is the gradual loss of physiological integrity, which results in dysfunction and increased mortality risk. A Quasi experimental research design and convenience sampling technique was adopted. 60 Geriatric samples with upper gastrointestinal tract problems were selected. Out of which 30 samples were within the experimental group and remaining 30 under control group. The objectives of the study were to assess the level of indigestion among geriatric clients, to assess the effectiveness of curry leaf and mint decoction on indigestion among geriatric clients and to associate the posttest level of indigestion among geriatric clients with selected demographic variables. The study was conducted at Kondancherry village, Thiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu. Pretest was conducted for both the experimental and control group. Demonstrated the control samples with, how to prepare a drink using curry leaves and mint decoction to experimental group and conducted post test for both the experimental group and control group after seven days of interval.
