What is the best Ayurvedic remedy for Pitham imbalance? - #12223

Absolutely, you’re spot on that acidity, excess body heat, and irritability can indeed signal a Pitham (Pitta) imbalance. In Ayurveda, Pitham represents the fire and water elements in the body, governing digestion, metabolism, and transformation. So, when Pitham's out of whack, it often manifests as exactly these heat-related issues and irritability. You’re right about avoiding spicy, oily, and acidic foods. Instead, opt for cooling and calming foods like sweet fruits (grapes, melons, cherries), bitter greens (such as kale & spinach) and dairy products (milk, ghee). Try avoiding vinegar, tomatoes, and aged cheese. Drink plenty of water to keep dehydration at bay. For herbs, yeah—coriander and fennel are awesome. Add coriander seeds in your cooking or as an herbal tea. Fennel seeds can soothe digestion, their cooling effect is pretty great. Another fantastic herb is Amla (Indian gooseberry); it’s remarkable for its cooling properties and can help balance Pitham effectively. Drink Amla juice or take the powder if you prefer. Regarding excessive sweating, for sure it can be tied to Pitham. Try using rose water, spritz it on your skin to cool down, it’s simple but refreshing. Aloe vera gel (directly from the plant, not the store-bought stuff loaded with chemicals) can also have a wonderful cooling effect. Simply put, stick to a routine—say, regular meals at the same time (to regulate your Agni, the digestive fire), sleep properly, and not too much exposure to sun could help a lot too. Yoga and meditation can be beneficial. Cooling poses like moon salutations, forward bends, or meditation practices like Chandra Bhedana (left nostril breathing) may calm that inner fire. If you’re consistent in these tweaks, you should notice improvement in time! Be patient though, ayurveda can work slowly but steadily. If things stay troublesome, consider consulting an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner to get more tailored advice.
