Hi Linn! I’m so glad you enjoy the blog. Well…yeah, have you read up on soy? If you haven’t, maybe do a little google search. In a nutshell soy is very heating, yogurt is clogging. So…I would say probably no on both of those. One food probably will not imbalance you, but over time if you start to notice pitta-like imbalance I would definitely look at how much soy yogurt you are eating. Goat cheese is not too bad actually. It’s a bit sour, but the amount of goat cheese that you would eat is probably not enough to throw you off balance. Daily soy yogurt though…you’ll want to watch that the most. Hopefully this helps!!!

Hi Monica, I just found your blog and really enjoy it. Thanks for sharing! I have a question about yogurt for Pitta. Does that include yogurt made from soy? I have alot of Pitta especially now when it’s warm outside but I do love my soy yogurt! And cheese, should I also be careful with goat cheese?

Linn,
Sweden

Natalie! Sandalwood soap would be GREAT for you. And amalaki would be a great herb for you – it’s excellent to balance pitta. Let’s talk before you get some, but I have a recommendation :)

Thank you for the insight. It reminds me that I need to tune in better to my inner channel, not ignore it because I’ve too much on my plate. Is there an answer for the flushed skin? A soap or herb I can add to my daily routine?

Hi Dee! Thank you for taking the test – it really is fun to learn about ourselves isn’t it?! And yep, you can absolutely leave the yogurt – you have my permission to never eat it again :) Thank you for the nice compliment on my site. I also look forward to your journey and helping you evolve in anyway I can. Big hug!!!!

Loved to take this test and learn more. Pita(11) with a close Kapha(9). Understanding from your articles about yogurt. Very intersting everytime I try to add it to my diet I can’t even eat a whole portion. Now I feel I can just leave it. I Love your Site. Thanks Look forward to learing more on my journey.

Okay heid, you will have to be mindful of the qualities of pitta + summer heat. Because there is heat in the environment now and you are naturally heated, you will need to work on cooling to keep you balanced. Cooling and sweet foods (natural sugars of course) will be best for you. Grains, rice, veggies, salads, fresh fruit, ice cream (mm!), cucumber water, are all great to cool you. Be ware of alcohol, salt, cheeses, yogurt, spicy food and anything acidic will make you hotter and more agitated.

I’ve taken the test. Heavy on the Pitta Light on the Kapha and my Vata is in the middle. I’ll keep reading to find out just what all this means. Maybe it can help me with the emotional roller-coaster I’ve been riding for a year now. I think it’s time to get off.
