Are you always up for the challenges?
Pitta’s mind seeks intellectual challenge often. It keeps them alive to stay intuned with positive aspects of the world. This habit makes them great practical philosophers of the world. But when Pitta dosha occurs, stressed, it affects their thinking ability and the thought process. The best way to unclog the mind of a Pitta Prakriti is by balancing diet and lifestyle habits.
Pacify Pitta Dosha With Diet Habits
- Eat something cool if you are boiling with anger all the time. A very high pitta dosha leads to increased hotness inside and the outside. It can be best if you cool it off with fresh fruit juices, cucumber coolants, citrus fruit smoothies, mint juices.
- Include some dryness in your food. The sharp oily characteristics lead you to become overly critical of others. So eating some dry nuts, potatoes, popcorns are quite helpful. Usually, most vegetables are dry in nature, and eating them by stir-frying is good.
- Eat sweets, but natural sweets. Aggravated Pitta dosha reflects hard, harsh qualities on others. It has to be softened with fruits, desserts that are prepared fresh without additives or preservatives. Milk, grains, amla are all-natural sweeteners that do good for Pitta dosha
