Pitta dosha is one of the three doshas in Ayurveda, a system of traditional medicine that originated in India. It is believed to govern metabolism, digestion, and metabolism in the body, and it is associated with the element of fire.
According to Ayurveda, an excess of pitta dosha in the body can lead to a number of physical and psychological symptoms. These may include:
Acne, rashes, or other skin irritation
Indigestion, acid reflux, or other digestive issues
Excess body heat or sweating
Increased appetite or cravings for spicy or sour foods
Irritability, anger, or impatience
Insomnia or difficulty sleeping
To balance pitta dosha, it is recommended to follow a diet and lifestyle that is cooling, calming, and nourishing. This may include eating cooling foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains, and avoiding hot, spicy, or sour foods. It may also involve incorporating relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga into your daily routine, and getting sufficient rest and sleep.
