Autumn season comes after rainy season in Hindi calendar and it's called Sharad Ritu (15 september to 15 November). After rainy season again heat increases in environment due to absence of clouds and presence of sun light. During autumn season Pitta increases in our body. This increased Pitta impacts on our Rakt dhatu (blood tissue) and gives blood related disease: blood infection, viral infection, Acidity, diziness, jaundice, burning sensation, burning sensation during urination, red spots on skin. To protect body from Pitta related disease we should change our food habits as per season. Avoid Salty, Sour and Spicy taste in food because it increase Pitta. Ghee is best to reduce the impact of Pitta. Add Sweet, Bitter and Astringent taste little more in food plate.

Grains :Rice (cooked in pot) should be consumed with little amount of ghee. Ghee decreases Pitta from body. Wheat and barley flour chapati should be consumed as it reduces Pitta. Apply ghee on chapati before eating. In this season we should consume new grains, because new grains are heavy in nature and help in reducing increased Pitta.

Pulses (Daal) : Chana, Toor, Moong, Masoor, Matar Dal are good to consume along with ghee tadka. Urad daal should be avoided.
