Now you may see things on this list that you immediately know don’t suit you well. Good for you! As an expert on your body, you pay attention and know what foods work best for you.
The lists above are recommendations for pitta pacifying foods that possess tastes and qualities that generally help keep pitta balance. AND, we still have to listen to our bodies and how they respond to certain foods or food groups.
PLUS, even if your primary dosha is pitta, you might have an imbalance at the moment and you’ll need to choose foods that help bring that imbalance back into equilibrium.
This is when it helps to work with an Ayurvedic practitioner to identify your current state (your vikruti) so you can gather input about which foods and self care habits can help you support optimal health and wellbeing at this specific point in your life.

We can discuss your current situation and any concerns or symptoms that you’d like to manage with gentle, all-natural methods like foods, mindful movement, meditation and other holistic approaches.
Next week, in honor of July 4th, I’ll share a refreshing and cooling recipe to keep pitta in check while you celebrate.
Until then, enjoy building your summer (pitta season) meals around the fruits, veggies and proteins!
