Yeah, sounds like you might be dealing with a Pitta imbalance, given those symptoms of excess heat, heartburn, and skin issues. In Ayurveda, when Pitta goes outta whack, it really does bring that heated energy you’re describing. What you’re feeling, both physically and emotionally, makes sense from an Ayurvedic perspective.
Let’s get into herbs first — you’re absolutely right about amla. It’s cooling and pacifies Pitta by balancing the excess heat. Aloe vera is another great choice, often used for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, perfect for managing skin rashes. You can take amla as a juice or in its powder form, usually about 1-2 grams a day mixed with water. Aloe vera gel, drink a small cupful of the juice on an empty stomach in the morning.
As for diet, you’ve already made a good start avoiding spicy, oily, and sour foods. Adding cooling foods is a smart move. Cucumbers, as you mentioned, are excellent, as is coconut water, which hydrates and cools the system. Try incorporating more fennel tea after meals — it’s calming for digestion, which helps manage heartburn.
When it comes to the emotional aspect, shatavari and brahmi are wonderful for calming the mind and managing irritability. Brahmi, especially, works as a nerve tonic. Maybe try shatavari as a supplement, around 500 mg once or twice daily, and brahmi can be consumed as tea or in tablet form.
About precautions, generally Ayuvedic medicines are safe but in summer, you might wanna be extra careful since Pitta is naturally higher. Balance with cooling practices like swimming or moonlight walks. Managing stress is key too, so consider incorporating meditation or some pranayama — alternate nostril breathing works wonders for calming Pitta.
Remember that every individual is unique, so staying in tune with your body’s responses is crucial. If symptoms persist, consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner personally would be my best advice. They can provide a treatment plan tailored to you’re unique needs.
