Physical traits
You have a naturally athletic, moderate, and muscular build and love a good workout! You gain muscle easily, but tend to overheat and sweat profusely.
While your digestion is robust and you have a strong appetite, you also may experience heartburn and indigestion at times. You may have a ruddy complexion and reddish tint to your hair.
Your skin and hair is naturally oily and you find you sunburn easily. Pittas are prone to rashes, acne, and rosacea as well. At night, you are a deep sleeper and prone to vivid dreams.
Mental traits
You love organization, are ambitious, highly intelligent, may have a Type-A personality, and love getting stuff done.
You are a natural-born leader, often pushing yourself to the extremes, both physically and mentally. You are a warrior when it comes to achieving your goals. You love to feel in control and at the center of attention.
However, with all of this fire within you, you may be easily angered or irritated when things don’t go your way. You put very high standards on yourself, which allows you to achieve so much, yet it’s easy for you to overpass your limits. The biggest task for you, as a pitta, is to take things slow and cool down.
When in balance
You feel strong, determined, and have keen insight and discrimination. You have strong digestion, are radiant, have glowing skin, and sleep through the night and feel inner peace and happiness.
When out of balance
You can be controlling, irrational, judgemental, fiery-tempered, irritable, and feel burned out. You hit a point where you reach exhaustion, which can lead to adrenal fatigue and a short temper. You may experience rashes, acne, indigestion, interrupted sleep, headaches, and loose bowel movements.

FINDING YOUR BALANCE!
So now that you know more about yourself as a Pitta, how can you bring on the balance that will help you become more physically healthy? Avoid digestive problems? Get a good night’s sleep?
Nourishing Your BODY
TIP #1: Stay COOL!
- Avoid time in direct sunlight (especially midday). Seek indoor activities, especially when the sun is high.
- Wear light clothes to keep you cool
- Avoid exercising in the heat (morning workouts are great!)
- YOGA poses that are great for Pittas → Forward folds, Reclined butterfly pose, child’s pose
- Avoid spicy foods (cayenne peppers, chili powder), coffee, onions, and garlic. As much as you may love these foods, they can aggravate your digestion even further.
Calming your MIND
TIP #2: PRACTICE MINDFULNESS
- Take time away from technology (maybe at least an extra hour off of your phone each day, a technology-free day each week, or a social media detox for a week/month)
- When you’re with family/friends… allow yourself be fully present there (no thinking about work or multi-tasking). By doing this, you show them you they are fully worth your time and are loved.
Discipline is a MUST
TIP #3: ESTABLISH A ROUTINE
Here is a Simple DAILY ROUTINE to help to you THRIVE as a Pitta:
- Wake up before dawn each day
- Practice morning routine: eliminate, tongue scrape, brush teeth, wash face, oil pull with coconut oil.
- Drink warm cup of cooling tea (add coriander) and meditate
- Practice yoga, tai chi, pilates, or another calming exercise
- Eat breakfast (preferably warm)
- Stay mindful with your tasks… keep stress levels low
- Make lunch your biggest meal of the day. (a snack in the afternoon is ok too)
- Take a walk outside and cool off your body
- Enjoy an early easily digested dinner life steamed vegetables and beans
- Sit a nightly warm tonic, oil your body with sesame or coconut oil, and turn off all technology.
- Get to sleep soundly by 10pm, before you get your second wind of energy.
Thriving SOCIALLY
TIP #4: CHILLING OUT
When out of balance, you may find yourself becoming easily aggravated, angry, or irritable. It’s extra important for you to release this excess energy on a daily basis to remain calm, centered, and fulfilled. This is not only important for you, but for those around you as well.
- Release pent-up heat on a DAILY basis → exercise, dance, yell into nature!
- If you feel anger, rather than giving into it or fueling it → try to acknowledge the root cause → then counterbalance with calming activities such as yoga, tai chi, and meditation.
- Set aside time in your schedule to REST (sit under a tree, spend time with family, read a book, play with a pet, take a walk in nature)
- Take a weekend trip to the mountains or to the beach to disconnect!
While it may feel against your nature, it is vitally important for you as a pitta to BALANCE the productivity you crave. You may be pleasantly surprised by the results!!
Pittas benefit from allowing more flow and spontaneity in their lives! Sit back, let it be, and trust that everything is going to work out. The universe is ALWAYS working in your favor!!
