bio-energy in Ayurveda regulating metabolism and body temperature
Pitta, often referred to as Pitta Dosha in Ayurvedic medicine, is one of the three fundamental bio-energies or doshas that govern physiological and psychological functions in the body. It is primarily associated with the elements of fire and water, and it regulates metabolism, digestion, and body temperature. An imbalance in Pitta can lead to issues such as inflammation, acid reflux, and skin conditions, including certain types of hair loss and alopecia.
