In its widest sense, it governs digestive function including all chemical and metabolic transformations in the body as well as processes which promote heat production. Pitta also governs our ability to digest ideas and impressions and to therefore perceive the true nature of reality. At the mental level pitta is responsible for discrimination, incisive thinking and functioning of the Intellect. When aggravated or out of balance it may manifest as one of the 'hot' emotions such as rage, impatience, irritability, frustration and resentment. When Pitta is in balance, we see:- Strong and complete digestion
- Efficient assimilation of foods
- Good complexion; healthy facial tone and coloration
- Stimulated, open intellect.
Coolness in any form helps pitta balance: try to keep your bedroom and (if possible) place of work a little cooler.
