Do you experience hot flashes, stomach acid, and loose bowel movements? Do you tend to be demanding, frustrated, angry, or intense? Is your skin ruddy and prone to rashes and eruptions? Are you often irritable or impatient? Is your hair prematurely gray or thinning? Do you feel discomfort in hot weather? If so, you need to balance your Pitta Dosha...
Ayurveda, which derives from ancient Vedic scriptures, is a 5,000-year-old medical ideology and philosophy based on the idea that we are all made up of different types of energy.
There are three doshas in Ayurveda that describe the dominant state of mind/body-Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. While all three are present in everyone, Ayurveda suggests that we each have a dominant dosha that is unwavering from birth, and ideally an equal (though often fluctuating) balance between the other two.
If doshas are balanced, we are healthy; when they are unbalanced, we develop a disorder commonly expressed by skin problems, impaired nutrition, insomnia, irritability, and anxiety.
Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are all important to our biology in some way, so no one is greater than, or superior to, any other. Each has a very specific set of basic functions to perform in the body.
That said, when the doshas are out of control, our well-being can be damaged. However, before we get into the particulars of each of the three doshas, it is helpful to understand their basic nature and their wider function in the natural world.
Each of the doshas has its own special strengths and weaknesses, and with a little awareness, you can do a lot to remain healthy and balanced. I've made a complete series of these three, one for each. This is Pitta; the other two are also available. You can use this series to adjust your lifestyles and routines in a way that supports your constitution.
To Ayurveda, Pitta is one of the three doshas-energetic forces of nature that make up the universe and everything within it, including us! Pitta is associated with the components of fire and water, but the former is more prominent. Together, they are the powerful power that controls the transformational processes of the body; metabolism and even the hormones of the body are believed to be regulated by Pitta.
Pitta is the hottest, oiliest, and sharpest of the three doshas. When you feel overheated in any way, there may be an abundance of the Pitta Dosha inside your body.
In this book, we'll dive deeper into what Pitta means, what throws Pitta out of balance, and how to identify the Pitta Dosha in your environment, in yourself, and in others.
With this book, I'm going to share with you everything you need to know in order to balance Pitta Dosha and use it for your overall vitality, joy, and well-being.
