Hot Palms - #7421

Anonymously

Lately, I’ve been noticing that my palms feel unusually hot, especially in the evenings. It’s not painful, but it’s definitely uncomfortable, and it often comes with a sense of restlessness. I’ve read that this could be linked to excess pitta in the body, but I’m not sure how to balance it effectively. The sensation of hot palms seems to get worse when I eat spicy or oily foods, so I’ve already started avoiding those. I’ve also tried drinking more water and herbal teas, but the problem hasn’t gone away completely. Could there be an underlying condition causing this, or is it just a symptom of pitta imbalance? I came across some Ayurvedic remedies for hot palms, including using cooling herbs like coriander and aloe vera. Are these effective? Should I also look into specific therapies like shirodhara or pitta-balancing massages? Another thing I’m curious about is whether hot palms could be related to stress or anxiety. I’ve had a pretty hectic schedule lately, and I wonder if that’s contributing to the issue. Are there Ayurvedic practices like meditation or pranayama that could help? If anyone here has dealt with hot palms or similar symptoms, what worked for you? Should I consult an Ayurvedic doctor, or are there home remedies I can try first?
