Learn how Pitta dosha impacts your mind and body
Download Article
Ayurveda is an ancient form of medicine that comes from India. It’s based on the idea that the 5 elements in nature (air, fire, water, earth, and ether) are expressed via 3 doshas, which are basically substances that influence the body and mind. Pitta is one of those 3 doshas. It’s responsible for your digestion, metabolism, energy levels, and heat. We’ll break down everything you need to know about Pitta dosha so that you can get your chakras and doshas back in equilibrium.
Things You Should Know
- Pitta dosha is the connection of fire and water. It’s one of the 3 major doshas alongside Vata (ether and air) and Kapha (water and earth).
- A well-balanced Pitta will make food easier to digest, help you stay level-headed, and ensure you feel alert and energetic.
- Control your Pitta by changing your diet to keep it in check and managing your daily activity levels.
