How To Control Pitta - #6362
For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with constant irritability, excessive sweating, and random skin breakouts. Someone suggested it might be due to an imbalance in my pitta dosha. I’m curious about how to control pitta because these issues are starting to affect my daily life. I’ve read a bit about Ayurveda, and it seems like diet plays a big role in how to control pitta. I usually eat spicy food and drink a lot of coffee, which I’ve heard can aggravate pitta. If this is true, what kinds of foods should I avoid? Are there cooling foods or drinks that help balance pitta? Besides diet, are there lifestyle changes that explain how to control pitta? For example, I work in a high-stress environment and spend long hours in front of screens. Could this be contributing to my symptoms? I’ve also noticed that I feel worse in hot weather, so does spending more time in cooler environments help control pitta? If there are herbs or Ayurvedic remedies that are particularly effective, I’d love to know about them. Are there teas, oils, or specific supplements that you would recommend for pitta imbalance? How do I use them to see results? Lastly, how long does it typically take to see improvement when you’re working on how to control pitta? Should I focus on one area at a time, like diet first, or tackle everything together? I’d appreciate any advice or personal experiences from others who’ve managed to bring their pitta back into balance.
