In Ayurveda, the millennia-old Indian system of medicine, the three doshas Vata, Pitta, and Kapha form the foundation of our physical and mental balance. Every person possesses all three doshas, but one of them is usually particularly dominant and shapes one’s constitution, metabolism, and personality. Those with a Pitta dominance associate heat and energy with drive and determination. In contrast to the airy Vata type and the grounded Kapha type, the elements of fire and water are at the forefront for Pitta.

Pitta types tend to overheat physically and emotionally. Irritability, feeling overwhelmed, high self-expectations, and digestive issues like irritable bowel syndrome are often typical consequences. This makes balance, conscious relaxation and a balanced diet more important for the Pitta type. At the Ayurveda hotel Larimar in Burgenland, Austria, overheated Pitta types can gently find their way back to center through balancing meals, healing treatments, and plenty of space to simply be.
