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
