Pitta Pacifying Diet - #5705

I’ve been experiencing symptoms like frequent acidity, skin rashes, irritability, and feeling overheated, especially during the summer. After consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner, I learned that these issues might be linked to an imbalance in my pitta dosha. I’m now trying to follow a pitta pacifying diet, but I find it challenging to know exactly what foods are best and which ones to avoid. I’ve read that cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, coconut water, and leafy greens are great for a pitta pacifying diet. But does this mean I need to completely avoid spicy, oily, or fried foods? I really enjoy dishes with bold flavors, but I think these might be aggravating my symptoms. Is there a way to adapt these recipes to fit into a pitta pacifying diet without losing the taste? I’m also curious about the role of proteins in a pitta pacifying diet. I frequently eat lentils, beans, and dairy products like yogurt and milk, but I’m not sure if these are the best options. Should I focus on lighter proteins like mung dal or certain types of fish? Another question I have is about meal timing and seasonal adjustments. I’ve noticed that my digestion feels worse in the summer, which I read is when pitta naturally increases. Should the pitta pacifying diet be modified depending on the season, or are the same principles applied throughout the year? Lastly, I’d love to know if there are any specific herbal teas, spices, or simple home remedies that can support a pitta pacifying diet. I’ve been drinking fennel tea and using cooling spices like coriander, but I’m looking for more ideas to create a sustainable and enjoyable routine.
