very interesting I am a pitta also and remember about the fasting not so good for my dosha, I know I have an awefull time with it!! With all that fire you should not drink or become agitated hahaha for me that is very funny because I am quite livery as we say in chinese medicine
i don't know much about the aryuvedic methods I mostly know chinese medicine, and not even much naturopathic stuff. So please keep us informed about how this method goes for you!
There are many paths to healing and I think you are wise to go with your intuition, somethings just make more sense to you for whatever reason... for me I think it is past life experiences that attract me to eastern healing methods because I also dig the whole culture and spiritual philosophy.
