For balancing Pitta and supporting prostate health, there are specific herbs and lifestyle practices you might find helpful. Among herbs, Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) is advisable. It’s known for supporting urinary tract health and can be taken as a decoction. Simply boil 1 teaspoon in 2 cups of water until reduced to half, strain and drink this twice daily.

Incorporating Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is highly beneficial for balancing Pitta and nourishing body tissues. Prepare a drink by mixing 1 teaspoon of Shatavari powder in a glass of warm milk, taken once in the evening would be soothing and aid in better sleep. For cooling effects, Aloe Vera juice is great for Pitta pacifying; consume 20-30 ml twice daily.

Diet-wise, focus on cooling, hydrating foods. Include more barley, oats, and cooling vegetables like cucumber and zucchini. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods that aggravate Pitta. Well-cooked, mild soups and stews can be beneficial. Fresh fruits like pomegranate or sweet lime serve both Pitta and prostate care well.

For lifestyle, incorporate gentle yoga practices such as Savasana and forward bends. Meditation can help reduce stress, a common Pitta aggravator. Ensure a regular sleep schedule, trying to go to bed and wake up at the same time daily. An evening walk might usefully relax your body before sleep.

Timing matters; morning is ideal for detoxifying herbs, while evenings suit calming remedies. Also, ensure proper hydration but reduce liquid consumption right before bed to minimize nighttime urination.

As your constitution and age require careful dosages, start with half the recommended doses, observing for any adverse reactions. Always consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before beginning new herbs, particularly when integrating them into existing routines. Enhanced caution and tailored adjustments ensure your safety and health at 80.
