Pitta Vata Dosha - #5329
I’ve been struggling with symptoms that seem to align with both pitta and vata doshas, and I’m trying to understand how to balance them. For example, I often feel hot, irritated, and get skin rashes (which I think are related to pitta), but I also have dry skin, joint pain, and irregular digestion, which seem linked to vata. How do I figure out if I have a combined pitta vata dosha imbalance, and how can I address both doshas without making one worse? From what I’ve learned, pitta vata dosha imbalances can manifest in overlapping ways, like restlessness, sensitivity to spicy foods, and frequent mood changes. But since pitta is linked to heat and vata to dryness, it’s confusing to find remedies that suit both. For instance, would eating cooling foods like cucumbers or avoiding raw vegetables help balance both doshas, or could that worsen vata symptoms? I’m also unsure about lifestyle changes. Are there specific yoga poses or breathing exercises that are ideal for someone with a pitta vata dosha imbalance? I’ve read that calming practices like shavasana are good for vata, while forward bends cool pitta. How do I combine them effectively?
