Pitta Disease - #3000
For the past few months, I’ve been feeling a mix of weird symptoms that I think might be linked to what Ayurveda calls Pitta disease. I want to understand this better and figure out what’s going on with me. Can you help explain? Here’s what’s been happening I feel hot and sweaty all the time, even when the weather isn’t that warm. My digestion has been super sensitive. I get heartburn easily, and spicy foods which I used to love are making things worse. My skin has also started breaking out with rashes and redness, especially on my face and chest. From what I’ve read, Pitta disease happens when there’s too much heat or fire in the body. But I don’t fully understand how this works. Can it affect your mood too? Because I’ve noticed I’ve been more irritable lately, getting angry or frustrated over small things. Even my sleep is getting affected; I wake up in the middle of the night feeling restless. Another thing I’m confused about is how food and lifestyle contribute to Pitta disease. I do drink coffee and eat sour and spicy stuff regularly—are these triggers? Are there other habits that could be making my Pitta worse without me knowing? What about exercise? I work out a lot, and I wonder if intense physical activity is heating me up more. I’m also curious if certain health conditions are linked to Pitta disease in Ayurveda. Does it relate to acidity, liver problems, or even migraines? I’ve been getting headaches lately that seem to start from my temples and spread across my forehead. Are those a Pitta issue? How do I start managing or balancing my Pitta? Are there specific foods, herbs, or practices that help cool down this dosha? And how long does it usually take to notice improvements? Should I avoid certain Ayurvedic treatments if my Pitta is aggravated, like massages with warming oils? Lastly, can Pitta disease be a long-term thing, or is it just a temporary imbalance? I want to make sure I’m addressing this early so it doesn’t turn into something more serious. Looking forward to your insights and any practical advice you can share!
