5 Types Of Pitta - #5442
I’ve been reading a bit about Ayurveda to understand my health better, and I came across something interesting called the 5 types of pitta. From what I understand, Pitta dosha can be divided into five subtypes, and each one controls different functions in the body. Honestly, I didn’t even know there was so much depth to Ayurveda before this, and now I’m wondering if my issues are linked to one of these subtypes. Here’s what’s going on with me: I’ve had constant acid reflux for months now, and it seems to get worse in the afternoons. On top of that, my vision has been feeling strained, and I get these random bursts of frustration that I can’t explain. Could this be connected to one of the 5 types of pitta? I think one of them is related to digestion and another to the eyes, but I’m not sure which ones. I also noticed that my skin is always warm to the touch and breaks out easily. Is that a sign of an imbalance in one of the 5 types of pitta? How do you even figure out which subtype is causing problems? Do you need to consult a professional, or can you tell based on symptoms alone? Another thing I’m curious about is how to balance the 5 types of pitta effectively. Do you need specific herbs or treatments for each type, or is it more about balancing Pitta as a whole? I’ve been trying to eat cooling foods, but I don’t see much improvement yet.
