Hello Yashavantha, these are typical symptoms of Pitta aggravation. Here’s a simplified Ayurvedic prescription for Pitta Prakop (excess Pitta) in important pointers:

1. Oral Herbal Remedies: Amla: 500 mg or 1 tsp twice daily before meals. Guduchi: 500 mg or 1 tsp twice daily after meals. Shatavari: 500 mg or 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk or water. Avipattikar Churna: 1 tsp with warm water before meals. Triphala: 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water. 2. Medicated Ghee: Mahatikta Ghrita: 1 tsp twice daily on an empty stomach. Shatavari Ghrita: 1 tsp twice daily to calm Pitta. 3. External Applications: Aloe Vera Gel: Apply to skin for cooling. Sandalwood Paste: Apply to skin with rose water to reduce heat. 4. Dietary Recommendations: Include cooling foods: cucumbers, watermelon, leafy greens, coconut water. Use cooling spices: coriander, fennel, turmeric. Avoid spicy, salty, sour foods; limit caffeine and alcohol. 5. Hydration: Drink coconut water, coriander water, and fennel/mint teas. 6. Lifestyle Recommendations: Daily oil massage with Coconut oil or Chandanadi Tailam. Sheetali Pranayama and Nadi Shodhana (10-15 minutes daily). Avoid heat, sunlight; maintain a cool environment. 7. Detoxification: Optional: Virechana (purgation therapy) under supervision for Pitta detox. Follow-Up: Reassess every 4-6 weeks to adjust treatment based on symptom improvement.

Sounds like your body is kinda in overdrive mode, huh? Those symptoms you’re describing, like the rashes, burning, and excess sweating, could mean your Pitta dosha might be outta balance.

Pitta governs heat in the body, so when overactive, it could show up like you’re experiencing. The red lines, like when you stretch, are probably due to the sensitivity of the skin—more so when Pitta’s acting up. Stress, spicy foods, and hot weather can spike Pitta, so you might wanna keep an eye on those.

Let’s take it step by step. Your diet could be an easy starting point. Avoid too hot, spicy, or sour foods, which can ignite Pitta more. Things like chilies, citrus fruits, and vinegar should sit out of your meals for a while. Opt for things cooling and sweet instead—think cucumbers, melons, and coconut water. They can help soothe the heat inside.

Lifestyle tweaks can play a big role too. If you’re into exercise, go for gentler workouts during the cooler parts of the day – sunrise or sunset. And drinks, they’re as important as food. Stay hydrated but steer clear of caffeine and alcohol – they’re like pouring fuel on fire.

To comfort the skin, applying coconut oil gently might help cool and soothe the rashes. A light application after baths on damp skin can lock moisture and keep irritations down. Wear light, breathable fabrics like cotton to help your skin breathe and sweat less.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but if you feel any fever, dizziness, or things just worsening, getting in touch with a doc is a must. Can’t let things get too outta hand, you know? Keeping stress in check with meditation or yoga might provide relief too, helping balance everything out a bit.

Just keep an eye on your body’s signals. They’ll guide you towards what feels right or needs tweaking, key is really about listening to them and keeping that awareness alive.
