When Pitta runs high—heat, acidity, irritability—cooling herbal teas can help. Learn which herbs to sip, how to brew, and when to consult a practitioner.
Signs You Might Need a Pitta-Cleansing Tea
Look for signs like excess body heat, acidity, early anger or irritability, skin inflammation, or loose stools. Seasonal Pitta rise commonly occurs in hot months or after very spicy diets.
Herbs That Cool and Support Digestion
- Coriander: Cooling, supports liver and digestion.
- Fennel: Digestive and mildly carminative.
- Mint: Refreshing and cooling for the head and stomach.
- Rose Petals: Soothing to Pitta and uplifting to mood.
- Licorice (small amount): Gentle demulcent and harmonizer—use sparingly.
How to Brew & Use
- Steep one sachet in hot water for 5–7 minutes.
- Drink warm or cool as desired, 2–3 cups daily during high-Pitta periods.
Safety Notes
Licorice in large amounts can affect blood pressure; avoid long-term excess and consult a practitioner if you are on medications. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should check with their healthcare provider before introducing therapeutic blends.
