In our first blog, we discussed a brief overview about Ayurveda. We will further explore the
important energy Principals. Ayurveda holds the idea there are three energy principals which
are found in all living things. Together all three of these principals, when applied correctly, help
the body and mind stay in balance. Of course, it is important to learn and understand how they
work. In this blog we will explore Pitta the energy of digestion and metabolism.
Description:
Balance is health; imbalance is sickness and understanding the balance is how one maintains a
heathy body. That is, the balance of the three energies. Pitta has mainly to do with the energy
used in the metabolic system of the body, it controls digestion, absorption, and body
temperature. The energy in Pitta also affects hormones which is why it’s considered to be
transformational.

Pitta shares many qualities of fire. For instance, Pitta dominants are sharp, penetrating, and radiant with their ideas and intelligence. It is important for them to control agitation and temper. Pitta people must be aware of their thirst quench, activity, and diet. Body temperature must be regulated to avoid imbalance. Good Pitta qualities are comprehension, highly motivated, goal-oriented, and competitive. Important Keys: There are general guidelines to maintain Pitta balance.
