This will have a cooling effect on your body and mind. Flavouring your foods with Pitta Churna will have a balancing effect in summer. Avoid constipation, as this can cause heat to build up in the body. Drink plenty of pure water and Pitta Tea, and eat more squashes, cantaloupe, and watermelon. Stay away from strong, chemical-laden, artificial skin creams, lotions, soaps, or shampoos, as these directly aggravate Bhrajaka Pitta and increase your sensitivity to sun damage.
Heated emotions can also heat the skin.
This is because different subdoshas of Pitta govern the emotions and the skin, so they are closely linked. Watching violent movies, living with people who are angry, or feeling too much anger yourself can heat the emotions, and through them, your skin. You can see the connection between heated emotions and heated skin, says Vaidya Mishra, because when people get angry, their faces turn red. There is also a connection between the eyes and the skin, because both are governed by Pitta dosha. Wear sun glasses to protect your skin, advises Dr. Mishra.
