Have Ghee
One of the indicators of Pitta is heartburn or an upset tummy caused due to excessive heat which can be dealt with by having a spoonful of ghee with lukewarm water.

Drink Water
Since Pitta can be the result of excess heat in the body, try to pacify this rising internal temperature by drinking lots of water and staying hydrated throughout the day.

Avoid Caffeine
One of the ways to balance Pitta dosha is to cut caffeinated drinks like tea and coffee out of your diet which can aggravate this imbalance and increase body heat.
