Pitta Reducing Foods - #5769
I’ve been experiencing symptoms like acidity, skin rashes, and irritability, which seem to point to excess pitta. Can you recommend some effective pitta reducing foods and how to incorporate them into daily meals? I’ve read that pitta reducing foods are cooling and soothing, but I’m not sure which ones are the most beneficial. Are fruits like watermelon, cucumber, and coconut especially helpful, or should I focus more on grains and dairy? I love spicy food, but I’ve heard it’s bad for pitta. Are there any alternatives to satisfy cravings without aggravating pitta? I’m also curious about beverages. Does drinking herbal teas or cooling drinks like coconut water help in reducing pitta? Should I avoid coffee and black tea entirely, or can they be consumed in moderation? Lastly, how long does it take to see improvement after switching to pitta reducing foods? Should I combine dietary changes with other pitta-reducing practices, like meditation or yoga? I’d love advice on creating a comprehensive plan to balance pitta and prevent flare-ups.
