The Pitta dosha is comprised of fire and water energy. Those with a predominance of the Pitta dosha tend to have a fiery and fiesty nature that manifests in both the body and mind. They are natural leaders and often very ambitious, if not slightly leaning towards having a competitive nature.

Pittas have a warm body temperature and often sweat easily. They sleep soundly for short bursts and tend to have a strong sex drive. Of all the doshas, Pittas have a strong digestion, making them think they can eat almost anything.

When Pitta is in balance, you will tend to be goal-oriented, ambitious, and passionate. When Pitta falls out of balance, you can become angry, impatient, forceful and may suffer from skin rashes, burning sensations, heartburn and indigestion.

It’s important to note that all 3 doshas are in everybody, and so anyone can experience a Vata, Pitta or Kapha imbalance (aggravation) at any given time due to a number of varying factors (seasonal, age, climate and other environmental influences).

However, most people will have 1 or 2 dominant dosha(s) in their result and these are the ones you should pay attention to especially as they’re most natural and dominant to your physical and mental character.
