Feeling so much heat and acidity these days, my pitta has gone up i think. Any ghar ke gharelu cheez that help cool it down safely? Not wanting to take anything random.
Beta, pitta shant karne ke liye thoda sa saunf chabane ki aadat dalo khane ke baad. Gulkand wala doodh bhi raat ko pi sakti ho, bhot thandak milti hai. Apne sharir ko zyada thakane mat dena.
Actually yaar, pitta in pregnancy is the worst, mere toh seene me aag lagti thi. Just try drinking cold milk or kokum sherbet without too much sugar. And avoid oily bhajiya and spicy food completely, it really helps!
My doctor explained that hormones relax the valve between stomach and esophagus, causing pitta/reflux. She advised eating small, frequent meals instead of three heavy ones, and sitting upright for 30 minutes after eating. If it gets too severe, ask your gynac for a safe antacid.
Try having some sweet curd or a glass of tender coconut water in the morning! 🥥 It really cools down the body heat. Keep sipping water throughout the day to wash down the acidity! 😊
Pitta and acidity can be very uncomfortable, but please avoid taking any random herbal remedies without asking your doctor first. I always preferred simple safe options like soaking fennel seeds in water. Please be very gentle with your body right now.
Don't worry, this pitta issue is very common because of pregnancy hormones. Make sure you don't sleep immediately after eating, and keep a few pillows to elevate your head. If the burning gets too painful or you start vomiting heavily, tell your doctor immediately, okay?
Acidity can feel quite distressing, especially when you are trying so hard to keep everything perfect. A gentle remedy that worked for me was chewing on a piece of cardamom or keeping a small piece of jaggery in the mouth. Please consult your physician if it persists.
Be careful with sweet drinks like packed juices for pitta, as they can spike your sugar levels. Plain buttermilk or water with lemon and a tiny bit of salt is a much safer, sugar-free option to cool your stomach. Watch your diet carefully.
During my pregnancy, I had severe pitta which even continued a bit during breastfeeding. Drinking a glass of buttermilk with a pinch of cumin powder after lunch really cooled down my system. Try to avoid eating very late at night.
Between office meetings, I couldn't do long remedies, so I just kept a bottle of cold milk in the office fridge and took small sips. Also, carrying roasted fennel seeds in your bag is super practical. Avoid spicy canteen food completely.
Oh sweetie, I totally understand how miserable that burning pitta feeling can make you feel. Try sipping on fresh coconut water or cold milk, it really calms the stomach. Sending you big hugs, take care of yourself.
I have heard from elders that drinking water stored in a clay pot helps reduce body heat and pitta naturally. It is very gentle on the stomach too. I hope you find some relief soon.
