dry dry dry

[Guest guest]

I have a question: lately no matter how much I drink, my skin is so

dry and rough I have to oil it a couple of times a day, and I am very

thirsty, and can't sleep (horrible insomia) for arthritis pain. My

constitution tends to be vata with a lot of pitta when it is working

right. Right now I am also very large and keep reading that fat people

shouldn't use a lot of oil and should eat the kapha pacifying diet. Is

that true, because most of the foods I crave pacify pitta? I also

crave salt since the doctor put me on a diuretic a couple of years ago

and I never did before. It is very very hot and humid here now and I

live in an airconditioned building. If I go outside in the middle part

of the day I can't breathe and get really sick feeling so I am

avoiding that and doing my errands in the early morning or around dark.
