struggling with raktapitta symptoms in modern lifestyle need advice - #2356

Yeah, your symptoms do kinda resemble what we know as raktapitta in Ayurveda. Raktapitta is linked with a pitta imbalance, especially when it heats up the blood (rakta) causing issues like nosebleeds and acidity. It's pretty frustrating, I know. The stress you're dealing with and your diet, low water intake, that spicy junk food, skipping meals — they're all likely making it worse. Ayurveda would suggest first getting your pitta back in balance. It's like putting out the fires, quite literally. Start with cooling your body, since hot and spicy foods can really aggravate your condition. Try eating more cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, zucchini, and leafy greens. You see, mung beans and coconut water could also be your best friends now 'cause they cool the body naturally. Since you're not drinking enough water, increase your intake but do it over time, you know, don’t just start chugging gallons. Herbal teas that help with cooling like coriander or fennel tea are good too. And yeah, try not to skip meals! Aim for three meals a day — of course, maybe smaller if you're not up for a full meal. But eat regularly. Considering your stress from work, incorporating some calming practices could be a game-changer. Simple breath work or meditation can really ease the stress. If it's hard to find the time, just start with 5 to 10 mins in the morning. You might also want to look into ayurvedic herbs like guduchi or amalaki. But hey, before you start on any of that, get a quick chat with an ayurvedic practitioner to ensure what's best for you. The idea is to cool the overload of heat, nourish your body, and reset a healthier rhythm. Take it slow and kinda flexible, you know!
