What are the best home remedies for pitta vomiting?

Question

I’ve been experiencing symptoms of pitta imbalance, including nausea and vomiting, and want to try natural solutions. What are the best home remedies for pitta vomiting, and how effective are they?

One commonly recommended remedy is coriander seed water, which is said to have cooling properties that help balance pitta dosha. Does boiling coriander seeds and drinking the water help soothe the stomach, and how often should it be consumed during the day?

Another suggestion I’ve come across is using amla (Indian gooseberry), which is known for its ability to reduce excess pitta. Does consuming fresh amla juice or powder provide quick relief from vomiting, and are there any precautions for people with sensitive stomachs?

Coconut water is another popular remedy for pitta vomiting. Its cooling and hydrating properties are said to calm the digestive system. Should it be consumed in small amounts throughout the day, or is it better to drink it immediately after experiencing symptoms?

I’ve also heard about using herbs like mint (pudina) and cumin seeds to settle the stomach. Are these more effective as teas or when chewed raw? Are there any combinations of these ingredients that work particularly well for reducing nausea?

If anyone has used Ayurvedic remedies for pitta vomiting, I’d love to know which ones worked best for you. Did you pair these remedies with specific dietary or lifestyle changes to achieve faster results?

Dr. Harsha Joy · Accepted Answer

For managing pitta vomiting, Ayurveda recommends cooling and soothing remedies that help balance the excessive heat in the digestive system. Coriander seed water is highly effective, as coriander has cooling properties that calm the stomach. Boil a teaspoon of coriander seeds in water and drink it throughout the day, particularly after meals. Amla (Indian gooseberry) is also beneficial for reducing pitta and can provide quick relief, whether in juice or powder form, though those with sensitive stomachs should consume it in moderation. Coconut water is another excellent choice for hydration and soothing the digestive tract, and it can be consumed in small sips throughout the day. Mint (pudina) and cumin are both excellent for settling nausea; they can be used as teas or chewed fresh, with cumin being especially effective when combined with a pinch of black salt. Along with these remedies, a pitta-balancing diet—focused on cooling, light, and easy-to-digest foods—can help accelerate recovery.
