Struggling with Pitta and Vata Imbalance: Seeking Guidance - #51969

Shanaya

Both pitta & vata r imbalanced with low agni causing unformed motion,bloating,skin problem,acidity downwards,dry skin,insomnia. So if i take any cooling medicine kutajghan, bilvadi,giloy for pitta shaman then vata gets imbalanced & digestion becomes sluggish with severe bloating,heaviness,excess hunger,even after feeling hungry i feel heaviness after eating just 1 spoon food. And if i take heating medicine to balance vata like panchkol,lavan bhaskar then i feel lighter & bloating reduces but loose motion & skin rash increases. Already medium built can't have shatavari n all.What to do???

Hello I can clearly understand you are now having a vata pitta imbalance with low digestive fire (mandagni) leading to ama accumulation You know in ayurveda it is mentioned that when more than 1 dosha is imbalanced we have to balance one dosha without disturbing the other ▪️ I will explain this in simple terms. When you used cooling medicines like giloy = your pitta was balance but agni got weak leading to vata aggrevation and ama accumulation So we dont need cooling or heating We need deepana with pacahana and gentle pitta balance ▪️Treatment plan -We need to improve your digestive fire -gently balance pitta -Digestion of accumulated ama -balancing vata ▪️Internal medication 1.Mustaristha 20 ml + 1/4 tsp of sunti powder twice daily after food 2.Takaristha 30ml with equal water after lunch 3.Avipathikar churna 1/2 tsp with warm water before breakfast and dinner 4 Triphala Churna 1 tsp with warm water at bed time ▪️Diet Till your digestion stabilizes have more of -Light khichadi -moong dal soup -cooked vegetables -daliya -rice with ghee Avoid -raw vegatables -spicy food items -fermented food like idli dosa ▪️Eat small but frequently should be your eating pattern If symptoma perists even after 10 days of treatment I will suggest you to take once panchakarma therapy like virechana purgation or detox therapy With right medicine and following the diet you will definately feel lighter Wishinh you a good health 😊 Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

●When Pitta is aggravated: Acidity, burning sensation, sweating, acne, skin diseases. Anger, irritability, jealousy, or impatience. An imbalance of Pitta does not ignite the “fire,” but rather destroys it.Headache, burning sensation in the eyes, stomach irritation. Insomnia and excessive thirst. ●Pitta-Balancing Diet • Foods with cold, sweet, bitter, and astringent juices. Cucumber, watermelon, sugar, coconut water, fennel, and coriander. • Milk, ghee, and rice are best. • Limit spicy, sour, salty, and pungent foods. Avoid alcohol, coffee, tobacco, and fast food. ●Daily Routine Exercise in the morning or evening – when the weather is cool. ● • Rest in a cool place, avoid excessive sunlight or steam. • Adopt cooling elements like sandalwood, rose, camphor, and khus. • Avoid anger and competition, practice forgiveness and peace. A cool bath and meditation before bed are beneficial. ●The medicine for a Pitta mind is compassion and calmness. The medicine for a Pitta mind is compassion and calmness. When Pitta is calmed, the fire element within transforms into light. This takes the form of clarity, confidence, and leadership. The key to balance is coolness, forgiveness, and restraint. Cool drinks, rose water, sandalwood paste, and rest are essential. ●When Vata is aggravated: Fatigue. Dryness. Interpretation: Constipation, gas, dry cough or sore throat. Back or joint pain, insomnia, Restlessness, fear, feelings of insecurity. Excessive yellowing of the skin, lips, and hair. In women - PMS, back pain, anxiety, and insomnia. “Vata’s fickleness is the only medicine.” Vata can only be calmed by stability, warmth, and affection. ●Vata-Balancing Diet • Warm, ghee-rich, oily, and moist foods. • Soups, porridge, mung bean porridge, ghee-based vegetables. Sweet, sour, and salty juice balancers. Use milk, ghee, sesame oil, ginger, cinnamon, and dried ginger. Reduce cold, dry, crispy, or raw foods. ●Daily Routine for Vata • Morning and evening abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame or almond oil. • In yoga, practice stable postures like Tadasana, Trikonasana, and Balasana. • Maintain a regular daily routine – set specific times for meals, sleep, and work. • Keep the body warm, soft, and protected during autumn and winter. Build mental stability through meditation and pranayama.
