In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, the term "pitta dosha" refers to one of the three doshas, or biological energies, that are believed to govern the body's functions. The pitta dosha is associated with the elements of fire and water, and is believed to be responsible for digestion, metabolism, and the body's ability to transform and eliminate substances. It is also associated with qualities such as heat, intensity, and ambition. According to Ayurvedic theory, a person's unique combination of doshas determines their physical and psychological characteristics, and imbalances in any of the doshas can lead to health problems.
