The common translation of pitta is “that which digests things.” According to Ayurveda, this is the dosha responsible for our ability to mentally digest our life experiences and biologically digest our food. Pitta is responsible for all of our chemical and metabolic transformations. Pitta is sharp, penetrating, hot, light, liquid, mobile, and oily. During the summer, pitta can accumulate as inflammation in the stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and small intestines. The key to pacifying pitta is to remain calm and peaceful. When it’s out of balance, you might arouse aggression, irritability, anger, hatred, judgment, criticism, and jealousy. When pitta is in balance, digestion and metabolism are strong and you feel passionate, joyful, and courageous.
