Pitta Diseases - #3683
For the last few months, I’ve been dealing with some health problems that seem to be getting worse, and someone suggested it could be related to pitta diseases. I didn’t understand what they meant at first, but after reading a little about Ayurveda, I think they might be right. I want to understand more about pitta diseases and whether my symptoms fit this category. First, my skin has been breaking out constantly. I used to have clear skin, but now I’m getting red, inflamed pimples, especially on my face and back. It also feels hot to the touch, and my skin is more sensitive than ever. Is this something that happens with pitta diseases? Are there specific foods or habits that could be triggering this? Second, I feel like I’m always overheating. Even when the weather isn’t hot, I sweat a lot and feel like I need to drink water constantly to cool down. This has been making me irritable and impatient too. Does overheating and irritability point to pitta imbalance or pitta diseases? I’ve noticed spicy foods make it worse, but I’m not sure if completely avoiding them will solve the problem. I also deal with constant acidity and heartburn after eating. It doesn’t seem to matter what I eat; there’s always that burning sensation in my chest. Someone told me that pitta diseases often affect digestion because pitta is linked to heat and metabolism, but I don’t know what to do to balance it. Are there specific Ayurvedic remedies for this kind of acidity caused by pitta? Another problem is my sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night feeling restless and unable to go back to sleep. I’ve read that pitta diseases can affect your mind and emotions too, leading to stress and anxiety. Is that true? And how does one calm both the physical and mental symptoms of pitta imbalance? I’ve also started noticing pain in my joints, especially in the morning. It’s not extreme, but it feels like my body is inflamed. Does inflammation like this count as one of the signs of pitta diseases, or is it unrelated? Are there specific diets or herbal treatments that work best? I’m especially looking for natural remedies because I don’t want to rely on medicines for every little issue. And how long does it usually take to see improvements after making changes?
