To address this, it seems like you may be experiencing an imbalance in your Pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism. An elevated Pitta often manifests as feeling overly warm, experiencing excessive sweat, irritability, and disturbed sleep. Although your tests revealed nothing abnormal, these symptoms align with what’s considered a Pitta imbalance in Ayurveda.
Let’s focus on dietary and lifestyle modifications to restore balance. First, avoid spicy, sour, and salty foods, as these can aggravate Pitta. Include more cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Drink coconut water and amla (Indian gooseberry) juice, which have cooling properties. Also, try stirred yoghurt with water and a pinch of cumin—it’s calming for Pitta when consumed in moderation.
For herbs, consider Brahmi or Gotu Kola, known for their cooling effects. They can be taken as capsules or powdered form mixed with warm water before bed. Also, Shatavari is beneficial; it helps balance Pitta and supports cooling of the body. Consult a qualified practitioner regarding appropriate dosages.
Additionally, introduce some daily rituals for cooling energy. Abhyanga (self-massage) using cooling oils like coconut or sunflower oil can help lower body heat and soothe nerves. Practice relaxing yoga poses and pranayama, particularly focusing on Shitali breath, which is specifically designed for cooling the body.
Ensure your sleep environment is conducive to relaxation and cool temperature. Keep the bedroom well-ventilated and consider cotton sheets for better air circulation. Monitor whether these adjustments help to control your body heat levels. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized assessment.
