Vaat Pitt - #6197
For a while now, I’ve been dealing with some weird health issues. My digestion feels off, my skin is breaking out randomly, and my joints are constantly stiff and achy. A friend mentioned it might have to do with an imbalance of vaat pitt, but I don’t really understand what that means. I’ve heard about these terms before in Ayurveda, but I don’t know how they affect the body or why they’re important. Is it true that an imbalance of vaat pitt can lead to so many different problems? I thought maybe my diet is to blame since I eat a lot of fried and spicy foods. Someone told me that pitt is related to heat in the body, so eating these things might make it worse. But then again, I also skip meals sometimes and eat at odd hours, which might be affecting vaat. Could these habits be messing with my vaat pitt balance? Another thing my sleep has been terrible lately. I wake up multiple times at night, and my mind is constantly racing. Does this have anything to do with vaat being aggravated? Or maybe my skin issues and frequent acidity are signs that pitt is too high? How do I even figure out which one is causing more trouble? If vaat pitt imbalance is causing all these issues, what’s the first step to fixing it? Should I focus on my diet, or are there specific Ayurvedic remedies that help balance these doshas? Also, do I need to avoid certain foods altogether, or is it more about eating the right things at the right time? I’m feeling overwhelmed with all this. If anyone here has gone through something similar or has advice on managing vaat pitt, please share! How long does it take to feel better once you start balancing them? And how do you know when they’re actually balanced?
