Basically in mantra science goddess mantras tend to be heating so they will have a tendency to increase pitta and vata (through dryness). According to my guru goddess mantras are not given out by most Indian gurus to the public. If they do then balancing mantras are often prescribed. This is well known in ayurveda. This guy may be too pitta (or vata). He should do something to balance this. Not only will he feel better but will have deeper meditations.
