Pitta holds the qualities of fire and water. It is hot, sharp, light, penetrating, liquid, mobile, and oily. Just as fire transforms anything it comes across, Pitta is active any time the body converts or processes something. It resides in the eyes, blood, sweat glands, small intestines, lymph and stomach. Imbalanced pitta can lead to sharpness and inflammation in these areas in particular.

Pitta people have moderate body build, with a good muscular structure. Their skin is often oily and prone to acne, rashes and inflammations. They are often hot, therefore they tend to be sensitive to higher temperatures. Typical Pitta individuals often suffer from excess sweating, thirst and hunger, sight problems, diarrhoea, ulcers, rashes and inflammations. That happens due to too much fire in the body.

People of Pitta nature often have a clear yet sharp way of communicating. They are focused, intelligent, and use direct language. Fame, success and wealth are what they’re aiming for.
