🌼 Understanding Pitta Skin in Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda, Pitta dosha is governed by fire and water elements. When in balance, Pitta gives your skin a healthy glow and smooth texture. When aggravated—often due to heat, stress, or spicy food—it manifests as:
- Redness and sensitivity
- Rashes or acne
- Inflammation or burning sensations
- Premature tanning or pigmentation
That’s where sandalwood steps in—a time-tested tridoshic herb that especially pacifies Pitta.

💠 What Makes Sandalwood Special?
