Growing up in a simple middle-class family, where the only life goal was to earn money, I have come to understand the importance of relationships, mental health, financial freedom, and physical health. As someone with a pitta dosha, I have experienced various health issues. I tried different types of medicine, from allopathy to homeopathy to Ayurveda, without much improvement. Then, I realized that what you eat can affect every aspect of your health. By following this simple rule of healthy eating, I was able to cure many of my chronic diseases. The lessons listed here have been time-tested.
Chapped Lips
This issue took the longest to cure. I have been in boarding school since the age of 7, so my parents were not there to take care of such small issues in my body. When I visited home, my parents always pointed out this issue. They started treating it with traditional lip balms before moving on to more sophisticated and costly ones. However, these remedies only worked temporarily, and my lips remained in the same condition. It was only after I started following an Ayurvedic lifestyle that I learned that these issues occur because of internal heat in the body. The main causes of internal heat are spicy and fried foods, and packaged foods are also something you should definitely avoid.
Bad Gut
I used to have trouble clearing my bowels in the morning. This issue began to bother me more after college, when I started working. The constant feeling of needing to pass stool makes me irritable and less focused. I used to believe this was a genetic issue, since my father has the same problem. I also thought that because I had attended boarding school since childhood, my internal system had become weak and that medication was the only solution. However, I later realized that this problem could be cured by following a proper diet.
Sweaty hands
This issue began to trouble me during my secondary school years. It became so severe that, on some bad days, I would sweat profusely to the point where I couldn’t even wear slippers. The odor from my socks was so terrible that people would keep their distance whenever I removed my shoes. Due to excessive sweating in my hands, I hardly feel any confidence in greeting anyone with a handshake.I consulted homeopathic doctors to treat this issue, but ultimately it turned out that hot and spicy foods were the cause of my problems. Processed foods were another factor contributing to this issue.
Cracked heels
I used to suffer from severely cracked heels that would sometimes bleed. I tried external treatments such as cleaning my heels and applying medicated cream, which provided temporary relief. However, the problem always returned because the root cause was not addressed. After adopting the habit of eating clean, raw food, this issue began to fade away naturally.
White hairs
The latest addition to the list of signals indicating internal body heat is white hair. I believe that my lack of white hair is not because my body is not heated from the inside, but because other body parts, such as chapped lips and stomach, have already been affected by it. All in all, this is a clear indication of body heat, as I have observed this issue in all my friends who eat junk food and therefore do not have a healthy gut.
Although I have listed all the body signals related to body heat (pitta dosha), our bodies also give signals related to other kinds of issues. A new addition to my body's signals is frequent mouth ulcers, which also occur because of internal heat. The idea here is to help you understand that by paying attention to your body's signals, you can become aware of any chronic diseases early on and treat them at their root.
