Pitta dosha is one of the three doshas in Ayurveda, a traditional system of medicine that originated in India. The three doshas are believed to be the fundamental principles that govern the functioning of the body and mind, and each person is believed to have a unique balance of all three doshas.
Pitta dosha is associated with fire and water elements and is believed to govern metabolism, digestion, and body temperature. People with a dominant pitta dosha are thought to be strong, energetic, and intelligent, but may also be prone to anger and irritation.
In Ayurvedic theory, imbalances in pitta dosha can manifest as physical or mental symptoms, such as digestive issues, inflammation, acne, and anger. To maintain balance, people with a dominant pitta dosha may be advised to avoid spicy or fried foods, and to practice relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation.
