Holistic Perspective
According to our ancient science pitta represents the fire element in our body. When pitta is active and balanced state, it is exhibited by brightness, ojas and vigour, at the same time when it gets excess in our body it becomes destructive to oneself. Since pitta is present in blood and stomach region of our body, when it gets vitiated it often leads to a blood related disorder like hyper tension or ulcer and indigestion. Pitta also has a psychosomatic origin causing emotions like anger, irritability causing adverse effects on our health. During the anger episodes caused by pitta vitiations, it often affects the blood pressure levels, raising them and losing balance over oneself.
