Yes, neem (Azadirachta indica) is generally considered to be helpful for balancing pitta dosha in Ayurveda. Neem is known for its cooling and purifying properties, which can be beneficial for reducing excess heat and inflammation in the body, both of which are characteristics of pitta imbalance.
Some ways in which neem may be used to support pitta balance include:
Drinking neem tea or taking neem supplements
Applying neem oil to the skin
Using neem-based skincare products
Chewing neem leaves or taking them in capsule form
It's important to note that neem may not be suitable for everyone, and it's always a good idea to speak with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any new herbal remedy.
