The Pitta Body

Hello, firecracker.

Are you an athletic achiever, who runs hot and gets hangry if your meal or snack isn't right on time?

Do you get intense PMS symptoms like severe cramps, heavy bleeding, or "crazy" mood and hormone fluctuations?

Do you have a tendency towards heartburn... but still love and crave spicy food?

If so, you might have a Pitta body.

Pitta embodies elements of fire and water. This manifests in hot, fiery, and sharp qualities that create positive traits when Pitta is in balance and unwanted symptoms when out of balance.

in balance pitta is:

  • Strong and athletic

  • Symmetrical and attractive

  • Have good circulation

  • Strong and hearty digestion

  • Healthy appetite

  • Driven and energetic

 

Out of balance, pitta becomes:

  • Hormonal issues

  • Inflammation, redness and rashes on skin or redness of eyes

  • Canker sores

  • Early greying or balding of hair

  • Irritation and inflammation in digestive tract, acid reflux, ulcers, and/or loose stools

  • Cravings for sugary or spicy foods

 

life events and behaviors that can throw pitta out of balance include:

  • STRESS: Over-work, over-exertion, or “burning your candle at both ends”

  • Constantly critiquing or comparing oneself to others

  • Times of high-demand or extra stress at work

  • Competitive sports

  • Hot weather, excess direct sunlight

  • Excess caffeine or alcohol

 

natural strategies to restore balance for pitta include:

  • Grounding, nourishing, and cooling the body

  • Reducing inflammation in the tissues, organs, and digestive tract

  • Creating ease, flow, and contentment
