该体质是火占主导。火元素过剩导致体内产生热,特别是在小肠、肝脏、脾脏、胆囊、血液和心脏终。当平衡时,你热情、适应力强、开朗、目标明确、有领导才能。火过剩会导致与热相关的行为,比如脾气暴躁、过于挑剔和不耐烦、皮疹、过敏、眼睛问题、溃疡、腹泻。阿育吠陀旨在风、水和火元素之间创造平衡。
要使火保持平衡,需做到以下几点:
- 避免辛辣食物(比如洋葱、大蒜、红辣椒)、发酵或油炸食品、盐;
- 避免 茄属植物(土豆、西红柿、茄子、胡椒、辣椒),因为它们可能会引起过敏反应;
三果粉(Triphalā)、番泻叶、煮牛奶和酥油、玫瑰花瓣、gokṣhura、guḍūchī。
śhatāvarī、balā、印度醋栗(āmalakī)、藏红花、芦荟、甘草、guḍūchī、紫草科植物、玉竹、药蜀葵、蒲公英、牛蒡。
雷公根、檀香、bhṛiṅgarāj、玫瑰、莲花、jaṭāmāṇśhī、洋甘菊、水苏类植物、菊花、芙蓉。

大多数水果具有镇静、清凉、调和、止渴的功效。苹果、梨子、石榴都很好。菠萝、蔓越莓、柿子、甜瓜、西梅、枣子、无花果、葡萄也很好。芒果、李子和覆盆子都有帮助。酸的和某些其他水果,比如柠檬、酸橙、杏子、香蕉、樱桃、木瓜、桃子和草莓,会加重热。
大多数蔬菜也有利于皮塔(火)体质,特别是如果生吃或轻蒸。最好的蔬菜是花椰菜、芫荽叶、苜蓿芽、向日葵芽、芹菜。其次是西兰花、卷心菜、球芽甘蓝、芦笋、生菜、豆类、豌豆、黄瓜和秋葵。最后,欧芹、甜椒、新鲜玉米和南瓜都是可以接受的。根类蔬菜(甜菜和胡萝卜)、茄属植物(茄子、西红柿、土豆)、芥菜、欧芹、菠菜和红薯可能会造成麻烦。辛辣的食物如辣椒、大蒜、洋葱、泡菜和小萝卜会大大增加火元素。
对于火体质,大多数谷粒是寒性的。最好的是煮熟的全麦、巴斯马蒂米、燕麦、大麦、格兰诺拉麦片、蒸粗麦粉、藜麦。最后是长粒糙米、蓝玉米和小米。短粒糙米、荞麦、玉米和黑麦可能太热,造成皮塔不适。全谷物意大利面很好。不含酵母的面包很好,含有酵母的面包应烘烤。最好是绿豆,因为绿豆不会产生气体。对于皮塔体质,大多数豆类可以接受,不过最好是煮过的,加孜然或豆蔻以帮助消化。同样好的食物还有红豆、豆腐、青豆、腰果、大豆、豆片、鹰嘴豆。扁豆和花生可能引起消化不良。(一些执业者接受各种形式的扁豆)。
最好是椰子和葵花籽。种子是蛋白质的首选来源,优于鱼类和家禽。
酥油(精炼黄油)、葵花籽油、黄油(无盐)、大豆油。
酥油、煮沸的牛奶(晾凉),酸奶拉西(1份有机酸奶+1份水)、乡村芝士(无盐)。
大多数甜味剂都是好的,包括黑糖。最好避免白糖、蜂蜜、过量糖浆。
一般来说,最好避免食用动物制品,除非是为了增强体质。动物制品给人力量,但在更细微的层次上是不和谐的。平衡皮塔的动物制品包括蛋清、鸡肉和火鸡(白肉)。
芦荟汁、苹果汁、梨汁、浆果汁、角豆汁、蔬菜汁、无花果汁、煮牛奶。茶包括紫花苜蓿、大麦、半夏、牛蒡、甘菊、菊苣、菊花、蒲公英、芙蓉、茉莉、薰衣草、柠檬草、荨麻、覆盆子、红三叶草、玫瑰、藏红花、菝葜、薄荷。
B、K、钙、铁与香菜等草药一起服用,以帮助消化维生素。
每餐平均服用1/4-1茶匙单方药草或复方药草。你可以用两份酥油或水混合(调至糊状)。在加热的酥油或油中烹调药草,然后加入食物中也是可取的。茶可以用1-2茶匙的草药制成。你也可以直接在食物上撒药草。
檀香、莲花、玫瑰、茉莉花和任何白色的花(清凉的能量)都可以用作精油、香薰、香囊、肥皂或蜡烛来镇定和提神。
绿色、天蓝色、或白色可降低皮塔。红色、橙色、黄色和亮颜色会加重皮塔。将颜色建议应用到家居和办公室的家具和软装上。
翡翠、玉、橄榄石、月亮石、珍珠、蓝色蓝宝石、紫水晶镶嵌银托儿。
坐和俯卧体式很有好处,肩倒立(仅在无心脏问题的情况下)和背弯曲也很好。深呼吸使人平静。
可随时随地进行,躺下、坐着、走着均可。它可以是一个咒语、一个念头、一种感觉、观察自然、思念神或爱,或任何几乎不引起紧张或担心的事情。练习放弃愤怒和不耐烦。认知和奉献是最重要的方面。
满月时在河边或花园里散步,在花园里工作,练习甜蜜的话语、宽恕和满足。适度运动,走路是最好的。
