| What is Pitta Dosha? (Hair that is prone to early graying or thinning) |

People with more Pitta in their constitutions tend to be of medium proportions, with a
frame that is neither petite nor heavy, warm skin that is very fair or ruddy and may be
sensitive, and fine hair that tends towards premature graying or thinning. They are
sharp and determined in thought, speech and action. There is an element of purpose to
their step, an intensity to their voice. Ambition is usually their second name. They are
moderate sleepers and gravitate towards cooler environments. Self-confidence and an
entrepreneurial spirit are hallmarks of balanced Pitta.
If your prakriti or original constitution has more Pitta in it, you will exhibit many who
have more Vata or Kapha in their make-up. And that's natural. But if the qualities
become extreme, or more pronounced than usual at a given time, then needs to be
brought back into balance. And if a predominantly Kapha or Vata person starts
exhibiting many Pitta qualities, that indicates a Pitta imbalance in that Kapha or Vata
body type. In both cases, it is then time to follow a Pitta-balancing diet and lifestyle to
help restore the level of Pitta in the physiology to its normal proportion.
Factors that can cause Pitta dosha to increase in the physiology include a diet that
contains too many hot or spicy foods, fasting or skipping meals, over-exposure to the
sun or to hot temperatures, and emotional trauma.
Signs that you need to balance Pitta:
Are you constantly critical, impatient, irritable?
Do you feel obsessed by work or a project, unable to stop for a break?
Do you wake up in the very early hours of the morning and then find it difficult to get
back to sleep?
Is your skin feeling irritated or more sensitive than usual, breaking out or feeling
inflamed?
Is your hair falling out when you shampoo or comb it?
Do you have problems with heartburn or excess stomach acid?
Is your tolerance of other people or provoking situations lower than usual?
Do you have temper outbursts over minor aggravations?
Do you often feel frustrated?
Do you feel hot even when you are indoors?
Do you feel thirsty all the time?
Are your eyes red?
Is your speech often biting and sarcastic?
Do you find yourself getting into arguments easily?
