Pitta

FIRE & (A LITTLE) WATER

Pitta is made up of fire (with a touch of water), and it manages digestion and blood in the body.

Because you're high in Pitta, you might find that you digest food, information, and experiences very quickly. With your strong internal fire, you possess a fast metabolism (sometimes too fast!) and you might sometimes struggle with inflammation, skin rashes, red eyes, and loose stools.

Passionate, courageous and ambitious, you’re a natural-born leader and you thrive under pressure. Your friends love you for your intelligence, sense of humor and warmth. Remember that your strength lies in humility and compassion. If you keep your ego in check, your true power will emerge.

Follow our recommendations below to keep all your energy flowing in the right direction.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Protocols are below and in your inbox.

Ahara (food)

You will thrive eating tons of cooling and fresh foods that are not spicy (sorry, we know you love the spice!). Overly oily, fried, and cream-based foods are not your bff. Fresh herbs should be used abundantly.

  • Emphasize: Basmati rice, berries, bitter melon, coconut, cucumber, daikon radish, dark leafy greens, egg whites, lime, mozzarella, paneer, peas, pineapple, spinach, tofu, walnuts, wheat, zucchini.

  • Best fresh herbs: basil, cilantro, dill, fennel fronds, hibiscus, mint.

Asana (yoga poses)

You will benefit from a moderately paced practice that emphasizes twisting, spinal flexibility, and hip opening. And for god’s sake, please, no hot yoga!

  • Chandra namaskar (moon salutes)

  • Salabhasana (locust pose)

  • Janu sirsasana (head to knee pose)

  • Paschimottanasana (seated forward fold)

Herbs

Choose herbs that help support your liver and have anti-inflammatory properties. Keep you eyes on your inbox for recipes featuring these ingredients.

  • Bhumyamalaki

  • Brahmi

  • Coriander

  • Guduchi

  • Licorice

  • Rose

Dinacharya (daily schedule)

Leave room in your schedule for spontaneity and fun. Remember fun? You will be more productive and brilliant if you lift your head up regularly and take a freaking break.

Moksha

Your freedom lies in getting out of your own ego and being of service.
