Pitta – Fire and Transformation
In Ayurveda, Pitta represents the elements of fire and water. It governs digestion, metabolism, body temperature, energy production and mental clarity.
People with a dominant Pitta constitution are often determined, intelligent, confident and well organised. They usually have strong willpower, work with focus and enjoy taking responsibility.
When Pitta becomes imbalanced, it may lead to impatience, irritability, excessive ambition, internal heat, heavy sweating or sensitive skin. Cooling foods, regular breaks, relaxation and a balanced daily routine can help restore Pitta’s natural harmony.
