Why Ayurveda Says Pitta Types Who Skip This One Spice at Dinner Are Waking Up Inflamed

Pitta's Sneaky Overnight Problem

When Pitta dominates your constitution, your digestive fire doesn't politely switch off at bedtime — it keeps burning, and without the right support, that heat turns inflammatory by morning. Ayurveda identifies coriander seed as one of the most effective cooling spices for pacifying excess Pitta, particularly in the evening when the body shifts into its repair cycle. Simply simmering half a teaspoon of whole coriander seeds in a cup of warm water after dinner, or stirring ground coriander into your evening meal, gives your system the bitter-sweet coolant it needs to wind down gracefully.
