Pitta (dosha)

The second Ayurvedic dosha, Pitta unites fire and water and governs transformation: digestion, metabolism, intellect and body temperature. Its qualities are heat, sharpness and intensity. An excess shows as irritability and inflammation. Palace cures targeting Pitta rely on cooling treatments, coconut and sandalwood oils and a calming diet, frequently offered within COMO Shambhala retreats.
