Feeling hot all over? Pitta’s Prasara stage might be flowing—here’s how to track and tame it before it roots.

Introduction

Sanchayam cha prakopam cha prasaram cha sthaana samshrayam, Vyaktim bhedam cha yo vetti doshaanaam sa bhaved bhishak (Sushruta Sutra 21/36). Sushruta’s Prasara, third in Shat Kriya Kala, sees doshas spill—Pitta’s fire escapes its bounds.

From the navel (Nabhi), stomach (Aamashaya), and blood (Rakta), its oily heat spreads, still fluid but fierce. This is Pitta unbound, seeking a place to settle.

This Neurasonic post, third in Pitta’s arc, charts Prasara’s reach with Ayurveda and science, offering ways to pull it back.

Signs of Pitta’s Spread

Pitta’s oily, hot nature flows—burning sensations (Osha) sear the body, squeezing feelings (Chosha) grip, and a boiling sense (Dhoomayana) steams from within.

Skin might flush or itch faintly, sweat turns slick, and rasa or rakta carry heat—eyes sting, urine darkens. If it lingers in the GI tract, it’s easier to flush; if not, Sthana Samshraya looms.

Science ties this to systemic inflammation—cytokines spread heat (per immunology), while oily sweat hints at lipid shifts—Pitta’s fire roams free.

Triggers of Flow

Spicy diets—peppers, pickles—or sour wines push Pitta’s Teekshna and Ushna outward, beyond Nabhi. Sun exposure, rage, or overthinking heat its oily edge—sharad’s peak aligns with its rhythm.

Midnight digestion or heavy meals fuel its spill—alcohol or caffeine stoke it higher. Stress spikes adrenaline, fanning blood (Rakta) heat, per studies—dehydration aids its slick spread.

Lack of cooling—hot rooms, skipped water—lets Pitta flow unchecked, ready to lodge in tissues.

L'équilibre avec l'Ayurveda

Cooling reins in Pitta—shatavari tea or aloe juice cools rasa, pulling heat from blood and skin. Guduchi clears the GI tract—bitter greens like kale or neem flush its oily grip.

Light meals—rice with ghee, no spice—settle the stomach; rose water mists chill the surface. Science aligns: aloe’s anti-inflammatory gels soothe (per dermatology), guduchi’s bitters detox liver heat, and hydration douses systemic fire.

Daily calm—shade naps, cool cloths—halts Pitta’s roam before Sthana Samshraya’s deeper burn sets.

Conclusion

Pitta’s Prasara heats wide—burning warns of rooting. Ayurveda and science urge: cool it now, or Sthana Samshraya digs in.

For Neurasonic, it’s a chance to chill—Pitta’s arc flows to Sthana Samshraya next.
