Pitta

Excess Heat in the Body

Pitta is the dosha of transformation — governed by fire and water, it rules digestion, metabolism, and intelligence. When balanced, Pittas are sharp, focused, and courageous leaders. When imbalanced, they experience inflammation, irritability, and excess heat in the body.
