Pitta dosha diet and Ayurvedic diet for Pitta dosha Prakriti People

The unique concept of Ayurveda is Prakriti, which denotes the physical, mental and personal traits of an individual. The prakriti of the person is determined right during the conception and is dependent on the state of doshas during that time. Based on all these, the prakriti is broadly classified into three categories, which are also known as the tri-energies.

1. Vata (responsible for planetary movement)
2. Pitta (responsible for formation and destruction of universe)
3. Kapha (responsible for generating and maintaining a new life)
