Pitta is one of the three doshas. Understanding your dosha is fundamental to a deeper knowledge of yourself, your body, your way of acting and thinking. To understand more about doshas and identify yours, check out this article here.

Pitta is the energy resulting in the dynamic interaction of fire and water. These elements are opposite to each other, but they both symbolize transformations. Besides, fire and water are capable of changing each other. Thus, it is a transformation principle.
The qualities of Pitta: hot, liquid, oily, mobile, penetrating, light, and sour smell. Moreover, it occurs in the human body in the form of ferments regulating digestion and hormones responsible for metabolism. Last, on the psychic level, it supports the transformation of medullary impulses into thoughts.

People with strong Pitta are powerful, energetic, and passionate people. So they are decisive, intelligent, strong-willed, and prone to emotional outbursts.
