Pitta dosha—one of three Ayurvedic mind-body types—is associated with fire and water. When out of balance, Pitta can be fiery-tempered, sharp, overheated, excessive, or controlling. As part of your Pitta-balancing regimen, enjoy self-care through the sense of smell:
• Sweet, soothing, and cooling scents like lavender, mandarin, geranium, and marjoram work to calm and nourish Pitta dosha.
• Antioxidant-rich essential oils fight free radicals thereby softening signs of aging.
• Cooling oils and herbs help to balance sensitive Pitta skin types.
• Non-toxic; free from parabens, phthalates, silicone, sulfates, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, and synthetic fragrance.
