What is Pitta dosha and Pitta type skin?


In Ayurveda, Pitta dosha is the combination of fire and water energies. When out of balance, Pitta type skin can manifest as inflammation, redness, breakouts, sensitivity, and rosacea.

I like the light feeling of the Pitta Balancing Body Oil and is not too greasy.

Best Body Oil!

This is the most divine smelling body oil I have ever come across with such clean and pure ingredients! I can definitely feel the calming/cooling effects of the oil when my body is experiencing an excess of pitta/heat. Would love this scent bottled up as a perfume oil!

Perfect for the summer

As a Vata-Pitta, I found this body oil amazingly refreshing during our hot and humid summer.

Pitta Body

I usually try to avoid Anyanga when it is 101 degrees outside. This body oil is very soothing and cooling to my Pitta body. I can use it in the summer. Feels great on-not overly oily or heating. Love it !

Pitta Balancing Body Oil makes my skin and mind happy. I started using it as a make-up remover as well. It is the best purchase I've made in a long time. I'm glad that I found PRATIMA.

I've enjoyed this product, and will likely rebuy. It hasn't done anything outstanding, no noticeable changes, but is a nice body oil.

Ever since I began using Pratima's products, I have stopped needing lotion for moisturizer. I love how this product feels. It also absorbs well. I use it every single day.

Great oil for summer

I use pita oil during pita season. It’s great light and doesn’t clog the skin. Perfect nourishment for summer. I use it in the mornings. It really helps my skins to stay soft throughout the day.

Wish it came in a larger bottle!

Perfect lightweight moisturizer for the summer months. It is cooling, absorbs quickly but is effective and moisturizing the skin. It does not break me out or clog pores. I wish they sold their body oils in large quantities!

Pitta rocks!

My favorite oil to slather on my skin after a hot shower...seems to cool down my firey nature. The scent is calming and luxurious. If only my puppy didn't also like to lick it off my legs!

Best Body Oil!

I am on my second bottle of this excellent body oil. I jave super dry slin, but body oils tend to sit on my skin and not absorb. Not so with Pitta Balncing Oil. It is by far the best body oil I’ve ever used.

Perfect for Summer

I’ve been using Pratima’s Pitta Balancing Body Oil for 13 years because it’s calming and soothing. The aroma from the essential oils calms the mind immediately. It is a perfect blend to use during summer to soothe “burning” skin.

Excellent product, highly recommend!

The smell of all of Pratima's products are amazing. The Pitta Balancing Body Oil feels really good on the skin. I don't think you can go wrong with any product of Pratima's and I have tried many. The first time I tried one of her products, I knew instantly it was like nothing I have ever tried before. I recommend anyone reading this review to at least try this or any product that may peak your interest because you may become a customer for life.

This oil is one of my favorites— I have to use it more sparingly than I’d like to, otherwise I’d go through it so fast! I used to use it on my face, and even with sensitive skin that flairs up and the hint of something out of the ordinary, it was okay. It smells great, I love the jasmine specifically.
