To combat a pitta imbalance, it is recommended to take up the regime that renders opposing qualities as that of the fire humor.
- In case you are of a pitta type, simply recall the fire traits that are dominant within you and try to subsist with just the contrary.
- As the gastric fire is vigorous, digestion is markedly good. Therefore, a pitta person needs to snack more often. Low sugar levels due to easy combustion of food may cause undue irritation and weakness.
- A pitta person needs to avoid oils and yet feast on ghee, prepared with cooling and calming herbs. A massage with ghee is also recommended. Milk and milk products are dietary boons for them.
- As the property of the fire humor is hot and intense, Ayurveda suggests living in cooler, soothing and calming environments, away from sweating and parching heat. The imbalance can be refined by imbibing whatever is cooling and soothing. A cold tub bath and using soft, cooling, fragrant herbs like sandalwood, camphor, khus khus and rose in the form of body pastes is beneficial.
