Ayurveda has plenty to offer when it comes to finding pitta-balancing foods and delicious, nutritious pitta body type recipes. To balance out the hot qualities of pitta, it’s important to incorporate cooling and soothing foods, spices, and herbs. Think things like cucumbers, melons, coconut, cilantro, and mint.
Kale and bitters reduce stagnation in the digestive tract and clear heat. Carrot and vegetables with beta-carotene reduce Pitta. Fennel improves digestion without increasing Pitta. Fresh ginger... Frothy Almond Date Shake nurtures and comforts your whole body, making it a the perfect addition to an Ayurvedic diet.
This is another version of pitta-reducing tea, very similar to the one above and just as yummy. Add 2 rounded teaspoons to 2 cups hot water. Cover and steep overnight or for 20 minutes, and serve warm. (I like to add almond milk and sucanat to the tea and drink it as a replacement for chai in the summer.)
In Ayurveda, pitta is said to be made up of the elements of fire and water—it is related to all things hot, fiery, and intense. Having a healthy amount of pitta dosha in one’s constitution can be a great gift, as it supports qualities such as determination, focus, clarity, decisiveness, and purposeful action.
