Pitta

Pitta is a concept from Ayurveda, representing one of the body's fundamental energies or doshas. It is associated with qualities like heat, metabolism, digestion, and transformation. Pitta governs functions such as digestion, energy production, and certain hormonal activities. It is composed of the elements fire and water, which give it a hot, sharp, and slightly oily nature. When balanced, Pitta promotes clarity, intelligence, and good digestion. An imbalance can lead to symptoms like inflammation, acidity, irritability, or skin issues. Maintaining a balanced Pitta involves moderation in diet, activity, and emotional responses to support overall health.
