Charaka has described that due excessive use of hot, sour, salty or alkaline substances pittaja gynecological disorder develops. The vitiated pitta reaches reproductive organs and causes burning sensation and suppuration (local ) associated with fever and heat (generalized). Her menstrual blood becomes blue, yellow or black in colour, excess in amount, hot and smells like dead body.
This type of vaginal bleeding occurs during intermenstrual period or this disease resembles pittaja asrugdara, is the opinion of chakrapani.

Dear sir/madam,
Many websites state that peanuts aggravate pitta. I cannot find anything about peanuts in the scriptures. Are they pitta aggravating indeed?
In Ayurveda Peanut is called Kalaya.
When we see its properties
Guna : Ruksha (dry)
It balances Kapha
Is indeed Pittahara – Useful in pitta imbalance, diosrders such as gastritis, burning sensation etc.
So, they are not actually pitta aggravating.
