Pitta dosha is the fire element (plus a little bit of water) within us. It embodies the energy of transformation. It is responsible for metabolism, body temperature, joy, radiance, confidence, willpower, and mental agility. When pitta is too elevated, a person may experience anger, irritability, judgment, rashes, diarrhea, inflammation, headaches, heartburn, burnout, adrenal fatigue, or vision issues.
