what is pitta in body - #23818

I am feeling really confused about this whole thing with pitta in my body. Like, I’ve been reading about Ayurveda and saw terms like pitta everywhere. My digestion's been off and some days, I feel this heat or irritation, especially my skin gets super rashy. I mean, a few weeks ago, I thought I just had a regular stomach bug, but then I learned from a friend that it might be related to my pitta dosha! Now I’m wondering, what is pitta in the body exactly? I feel like I’m too fiery or something, getting angry over the smallest things. I even went to a doc who mentioned balancing pitta, but didn’t explain much. Should I be looking into my diet more? What happens if my pitta is too high? Is there like a simple way to calm it down? I’ve tried some herbal teas but not sure if that’s cutting it. Any advice would really help!
